Question

"Music Library Settings" missing

With the new app, I can’t access my music at all. According to the Sonos support pages, you add your music library by going to “Manage” and then “Music Library Settings”. But in my app, there is no Music Library Settings on that page, only Content Services.

I called Sonos support, and they told me that some people are missing that setting, and this is something they’re working on (and they couldn’t say how long that would take). But the lady I talked to didn’t really seem to know what she was talking about. I haven’t found anybody else reporting this problem. Everybody is talking about all the missing features, but nobody mentions not even being able to access your music through the app. Is somebody else experiencing this?

On the homepage of the App scroll to the bottom and you should see Your Sources > Music Library.

You can’t search it anymore and you can’t modify it. It looks like they are slowly removing local library support.

Thanks! I knew she didn’t know what she was talking about. I’m not seeing any images, is that normal now?

I have only a Beam gen 2 here, and the new V80 app on Android. “My Sources” shows only TV input in the new app.

I’ve only been using Sonos for a couple of months, and I’ve never had cover art images in the local music library.

Great. I updated the music library, and now I no longer see “Your Sources” at all on the homepage.

Great. I updated the music library, and now I no longer see “Your Sources” at all on the homepage.

I find all the things in that section come & go (TV, Line-in, Library), probably because something timed out. They don’t seem to reload the section very often so when it happens I force-quit the app and restart and 7 times out of ten the missing thing reappears (mind you 3/10 one of the others vanishes too). Sonos used to have a beta programme to catch these things but seems to have released anyway (possibly to create other noise to hide their poor financial results on Tuesday).

Support musicians by buying music instead of streaming.

Thanks for the tip, but I tried around 10 times, and no luck. “Your sources” is completely gone. Not just the things in that section, but the whole section.

I also can no longer access my music library with the updated app, how could they do a new release that wipes out most peoples music?  How long will this take to sort out SONOS?
