music library after latest app update

First problem … I search all the time for artists and songs. The search function used to return info from BOTH Spotify and my Music Library. It no longer searches my music library of 25,000 songs. this is worthless. How do I uninstall the new app.

I have 31,000 mostly ripped songs (Jazz, classical, etc.) and I cannot get them to play on my Sonos system at all. I have tried playing directly from my library, indexing my library, and through the Apple Music app within Sonos. 

Any ideas?

Seems like the ability to connect to my NAS is gone ? I cannot find a,way to connect it anymore.

I have a large local library of about 35000 songs ~ 500 artists.

In the old app I could search for a song, album, artist, now it won't search the local library at all.

If I want to go to a specific artist, for example “Weezer” In the old app I went Library → Artists → “W” or just searched.

They removed the alphabet selector and the ability to search.

I now have to go to Local Library → Artists and then scroll and scroll and scroll. Page after page after page.

Imagine scrolling for a specific song. 

I think Sonos is moving towards streaming services support. As far as I am concerned my local library has become unusable.

This is how I feel about the new app.  I used to enjoy browsing through my local music library, selecting songs, albums, artists to add to my queue, and then tweaking (some might say curating) the queue and then, if I really liked the results, creating a playlist from the queue.  Now?...I have to scroll endlessly through the thousands of songs and hundreds of artists and albums in my library to find the ones that I want without the benefit of the A-Z slider on the right to jump through the list.  And, then, after all of that, I can only play a single selection without the ability to add them to a queue. That is absolutely infuriating!  Now, I am forced to play a single song at time in some cases.  Ridiculous!  What is modern about an app that doesn't let you search and curate your music how you want.  I have more music management features on my cheap blue tooth speakers.  They have made it so, so hard for me to play and enjoy my own music.  They have turned this into a process that I just dread.  Way to go!

It has been clear for a while, for example with the new s***tier search I had to roll back to get rid of, that Sonos holds users with local music libraries in utter contempt. It is absolutely beyond me why this is the case, but there you are. On top of the legion issues over recent years with the app being a buggy pain to use, this is an insult too many.

So, I'm on the hunt for a 3rd party app that will allow my Sonos speakers to continue to render my local music library while I focus my new purchases on other manufacturers.

Good luck, Sonos, with whatever your strategy is.  Alienating seemingly almost your entire customer base with your arrogance and "courage” certainly has me perplexed.

Just echoing the other comments on here - after the update my adroid phone doesn’t show the libaray at all ,, so obviousy don’t have the other features of seraching etc 

SONOS please sort this out immeditaley , my speakers are now totally useless for the way i use them 

After the update from yesterday, I’m not able to play the songs from my library.
I can see all songs in the tabs genres, songs, albums and artists, but I can’t play them.

Recognized that the path to the connected folder is wrong.
How to set the correct folder ? Don’t find any option to set something in the ‘Folder’ tab.

I was managed to roll back my SONOS to March 2024 version, everything started to work fine but overnight it was silently updated to May 7 version and now nothing works again, My library disappeared, other options in constant hanging. May 7 version is totally unusable.

Total rubbish. How do I get an older version of the app on Android back?
