I’m unable to add an album to existing queue. Is this feature gone or am I missing it?

1,000 up votes for bringing back all the queue functions. July can’t come soon enough.

I’m also not happy about losing the ability to search through my personal music library. Search functions only go through my services (Spotify, Pandora, etc.). I have a ton of songs from local bands - including my own - on my iTunes library on a connected server but I have to scroll through the whole thing to find artists or songs. In the old app searching would show me results from my connected services PLUS my music library. Took me a while to even find where they buried it but there’s no way to search like I used to.

Please add this to the punch list of things Sonos needs to bring back!

Hi - updated app now has the ability to add songs to a queue so thank you, I guess, for restoring that basic capability. 

However it is soooo slooow . It is taking 5 seconds from the moment I click the 3 dots until the song has been added to the queue. 5 seconds may not sound like a lot until one tries hitting a button and counting “1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi. 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi” while waiting to move on.  Now imagine trying to add twenty songs.  (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi … )

Is anyone else having this problem?  I’m on Tidal.  

In addition, is there any ability to delete a song from the playlist queue? I feel like I’m missing something obvious - however given past history with this [self-edited to save the moderators the trouble] app, it is entirely possible that it’s the app, not me.

How do you add to a queue using the new app?

In TIDAL (and Spotify) in Your Services, click on the three dots. In addition to “Save to Sonos Favorites” and “Replace Queue”, you’ll also see “Play Next” and “Add to End of Queue”.  

Works for individual songs, playlists and albums..  

I’min Sonos Build 80.02.04, released on 3 June.

So I can add to end of queue, play next, or replace queue, but I can’t play NOW (and keep the queue).

seems the only way to do this is to hit a song which will play now but it deletes the queue and replaces it with that song or the whole album (depending on your search).

Frustrating, or am I missing something?

Hello Rohan, thank you for the reply. This seems to be the issue as in this new version of the App when one taps the three dots the only option offered is save to Sonos favorites or Start a station. Gone are my familiar “Play Next” and “Add to End of Queue”. Is this not possible using this latest version?

There no longer is an option to add a song or album to the end of my queue when I long hold an icon. Is there a new way to add songs and albums?

This is the reason I loved Sonos.  It was a jukebox at your fingertips.  I would not buy this system now and it is not cheap.  I’m a long-term user of Sonos and am very disappointed now.  I had started using my computer to add music to a playlist but that is not working now.

The play next, add to end of queue options that I had with the previous release about 3 days ago have now gone. I also just get only the ‘save to Sonos favourites’ or ‘start a new station’. Back to playing a single album, song at a time. Might as well just listen to vinyl albums and singles.  I’ve now got the 80.03.06 release on iOS.

I would imagine Sonos will be customer focused and get this feature returned SOON. Thank goodness I didn’t follow my friend and also bought the shares. How to go forward 1 step and 2 backwards
