Naming Custom Streams

Custom streams are still extremely difficult to manage.

One can add custom streams to the TuneIn library via the TuneIn app. These then show up inside the Sonos TuneIn ‘New’ Service. From there, those streams can in turn be added to Sonos favorites. However, unlike the old interface from the ‘Pre-Update’ Sonos App, there’s now no way to assign a friendly name to custom streams.

Is anyone aware of a way to do this, or is it scheduled to be fixed? This was functionality we had before that has now been removed and degraded.

Sonos chose to leave this to TuneIn, so the fact that is is a little harder to ad streams seems logical. It’# not that hard though, is it? I only use Sonos playlist, for which I also need to get into a different app.

The fact that the streams can’t be given a recognisable name is the more serious complaint in my opinion. This should be mended as fast as possible because it makes the streams unrecognisable.
