music library after latest app update

Would you not have been better off with a Sonos Bluetooth speaker instead? You could have played to it over Bluetooth and grouped it with your existing Play:1 and had the audio output through both, in the same or different rooms. It may have cost more, but so many more options become available. 

Why would i wanna buy anything else from sonos again??????!!!!!

Well it’s your prerogative, but I think you would have achieved far more with a Sonos Bluetooth product than your purchase choice - you don’t have to use the Sonos App for playback either - it’s only a software "remote" for sonos hardware anyway. Anyway it’s a matter for yourself. I just would have chosen a different path.

Got notification to do another Sonos update today. Had already gone back to normal after losing my library like everyone else on here for several weeks so I hit ‘update’ with some trepidation. But it is still all working fine. Phew! So good to have it all back to normal and being able to play my beloved tunes xx 

JFC!

My Music library disappeared again this Morning.

I had fixed everything using the instructions earlier in this thread.

Sonos Software engineers competency has lost My confidence.

Isn’t it weird how we are now all having such different experiences with this!

My Sonos is fixed and back to normal, others are having their music library disappearing on them...xxx

Yes, the locally shared library is working okay for me too with the new App.. not sure why others maybe having difficulty, unless they’re perhaps not using SMBv2 or higher in some cases to share their library or they have maybe set the minimum version of the protocol to SMBv1🤔?

Like everyone else, I am really annoyed with how Sonos has handled this terrible update over the past two months (!!!!!). What had been a well functioning product is now a daily source of frustration. Here are a few specific complaints after the forced update this morning (I had been more or less able to use the old app until today):

1. Loss of playlists is unacceptable. I had dozens of playlists that I referenced and edited frequently.
2. Loss of a list of letters on the right hand side when browsing the music library makes the list browser unusable. With hundreds or thousands of items, scrolling alphabetically is extremely difficult.
3. I constantly have to reboot the PC hosting the music library because something is wrong with indexing. I probably have to reboot several times a day (I listen to music through my Sonos for 8-10 hours a day).
4. Search does not search my music library. Pairing this with item 2 above makes using the Music Library needlessly difficult.

This is certainly not a comprehensive list but these are the big ticket items for me. Frankly, I am shocked that these items have not been addressed yet.

The update overnight removed My perfectly working Music Library (Mac). 

I knew I was in trouble when I awoke to the Sonos Chime vs My selected Playlist. 

I am now using the same protocol to re-add My Music Library-which was entirely missing...been at it for awhile...fingers crossed I can get it running before My first Client at 8am (I play Music for My at Home Business)... 

On iOS app, music library on my NAS appears sporadically  sometimes stays, sometimes disappears. If I go to a recently played song from the music library, the app sometimes lets music library appear.  My smb settings are set to 3. I upgraded system yesterday with new system update. Fix the app please. So tired of this bs.
