Just installed the new app. But I can’t find where the music library went. Also no option to add a folder to the library 

 

Moderator edit: We have an article with instruction on how to add a music library share on Windows and MacOS. Have a look.

    Nooooooo I have upgraded my Sonos app on iOS. Is there a way to downgrade? Somehow playback is choppy and can’t play local music. HELP

      This new version of the Sonos app is a dismal failure from my perspective.  I use a Music Library hosted on my Mac for my Sonos system’s use.  I do not stream from other “services”.  Loosing functionality as part of upgrades is counterintuitive.  I have run into issues with Sonos hardware in the past when earlier products for which my hard-earned dollars were spent were rendered incompatible with new app versions.  I am not a wealthy Sonos CEO so c’mon man, Sonos get with it and ensure everything gets made to be backwards compatible and loose no functionality during app version “upgrades”.  I am sick of being charged premium money for shoddy programming and engineering.  As an engineer myself, I find this deplorable.  Yes, I am pissed!

          I just updated my Sonos app on my iphone from the previous “Gold” app. It plays but I can no longer see my queue.

          I enjoyed listening to imported play lists from my “Music Library” and skipping around to hear what i wanted however now the queue is always empty.

          I regret updating and wish I could go back but for now we are using the old app on my wife’s phone.

          I tried phone support but I got 60 - 75 minute wait times and live chat was unavailable.

          Is there any way i can get back the ability to see the queue?

          I, too, updated my Sonos app on my iPhone and… my Sonos Music Library on our iMac (one room over) no longer appears. So, I thought updating our Sonos Controller on the iMac that houses the Library would result in a successful connection. That installation failed. How nice.

              +1 to the downgrade comments, new look and feel but no alarms anymore via the app, music library appeared after force quitting but the scroll bar has gone so it’s a pain to navigate and appears very buggy to be polite!

                Hello. After the new and latest update of the Sonos App I cannot listen to music that I have on my PC. The way to share my PC with Sonos has disappeared. Doesn't recognize Windows media? Thank you.

                  Updated to new app as well, and its just horrible.

                  Why take away perfectly working NAS file functionality?

                  I am going to be logging a call with Sonos on Monday, the more people who log calls regarding the new app, the more its known how many people use files rather than streaming services.
