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.

    What a hopeless, hopeless mess. The update has disappeared my local music library. 

    Can someone point to where I find steps to roll this back. Thanks

      I had the same thing, tried all sorts to get it back...see me post above for details, but i installed the LMS server ( https://lyrion.org/getting-started/ ) and added the UPNP/DLNA plugin (from the plugins tab ) on my mac, and loaded squeezer on my android devices, and all speakers play fine using my local storage.

      Just not using the Sonos app anymore. The install was easy on both the Mac and Android

        Seems like most folks here have a NAS but hoping something will be coning to all connections to external hard drives again as well. We are almost to mid-June.

            I’m just here to vent.  WTF is wrong with these companies that they can’t sell you a product that does the one thing you want it to do, and stop mucking about with it, trying to lock you in to crap you don’t want.  This is the basic infrastructure of my life.  I just want it to work and be invisible.  Every second I waste finding workarounds to their corporate stupidity makes me want to do and say things I shouldn’t do and say.

              Well SONOS this new and improved app of yours turned out to be a massive cluster *! The absolutely most important function, that I have been using daily since the beginning of time (well almost) playing music from my local music library from my Synology NAS is now apparently at an end… It has been more than 4 weeks now since I could browse through my collection. And I have not received any help to resolve my issue, just excuses. The release of this new app is a truly embarrassing feat from a company like yours. Nothing is better! Connectivity worse, interface worse, stability worse, response worse and so on.

               I am utterly disappointed!

                  OK, the latest Android update (June 4?) still does not provide a way to rescan/refresh/update the music library folders. This is crazy. Sonos still couldn’t fix this major bug after two bug-fix releases?

                   

                  Also, the Trueplay equalization is no longer available in the EQ section of the speaker system. I calibrated the system with my iPad previously, but now that feature is no longer available from the Android app.

                   

                  Music library and Trueplay are the main reasons I bought the Sonos. Now they are both broken.

                    Under “Your System”, your music library should be listed under “Your Sources”. It might take a little bit for it to appear as it didn’t appear immediately for me.

                    Yes mine is shown under ‘Your resources’. When I open that I see the usual list ,’Artists’ ‘Albums’ ‘Composers’ etc, but when I click on any of the options I get a greyed out screen with a note ‘Something went wrong. Try again.

                      The link to my locally stored music library was deleted. Trying to re establish the link is resulting with a message: Sonos unable to add the music folder. Unable to add the shared folder….to your music library(913).

                      I am using Windows 11 and have Norton installed.
