It seems that the ability to play from a local library or a NAS server has been removed in the new app.
This has major consequences for us who play music in an Odd Fellow lodge that we ourselves have recorded and own.
This means that sonos is now completely useless to us.

It is a significant deterioration and means that we can no longer can use sonos at all, and must find a new alternative.

You can still play music from a NAS or local library on the new app. Sonos just isn’t supporting the outdated SMBv1 and HTTP protocols because of security reasons. My local music library still works on the new app.

Have you tried searching for your local music on your NAS?
The search box only searches services not local library and the A-Z scrolling is notably worse. Making locating and listening to local music library almost unusable.

Bring back the old Sonos app. It was clunky, but it actually worked!

I no longer can update my Music Library (NAS) with the new app, nor manage indexing.

The way to search the local music in NAS is horrible, please give the option to have the previous app version.

You should be able to do this with the old Windows/Mac desktop apps which IMO, while a little tired, are superior to the new web app.

Sorry but I can’t find Music Library anywhere as a source or option in the new mobile iOS app. It’s there in the web app but having an old slow laptop I prefer using my phone as controller. When it’s quieter I suppose I’ll ring support yet again. Wish I had the funds to replace system with something else 😢

Same problem here on Android. My phone updated overnight and now I cannot see the library at all. Some of my saved favorites that were from the library are still there but greyed out. I have one older device that I was able to set to “no auto update” in time that still has the S2 app installed and the library works there as well as from the web player app so it’s not a protocol issue.

The Sonos support rep I talked to said that Library functionality was gone in the Android app temporarily but obviously that’s not the case since some Android users still have access.

Can we downgrade back to the S1 app with the newer components? I think that may be a viable option until they fix this disaster.

I have a NAS-based music library of 25,000 songs. The new app won’t search from the music library. This is totally worthless. I either want the old app back, or i want all 10 zones of SONOS equipment refunded.
