Only 100 songs listed when browsing my music library

It’s good to see some of the features returning after the problems that arose from the recent app update and I’ve now managed to reconnect my music library, but seem to have a problem when trying to browse songs in my Library (and the ability to search the Music Library hasn't yet returned). I can browse the full Library ok by Artists, Albums, Composers and Genres, but when browsing Songs the list stops after the first 100 songs (listed alphabetically). Artists, Albums, Composers and Genres all display the full listing ok and I can see all songs (thousands) ok when browsing using the Mac Controller, so this is problems is specific to the iOS app (80.3). Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

Yes! This is extremely frustrating, as everything was fine until the most recent update (which added nothing useful for me but completely changed the user interface...why?). Yours is the first post I’ve seen related to this issue. I’ve removed and re-installed the app to no avail. A couple of subsequent Sonos app updates have not fixed the problem.

To be clear: All of my music is there but I have to browse using artist or album to see it (which sucks).

The Sonos interface has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had over the years. If I hadn’t invested so much in the hardware, I would have dropped Sonos years ago.

Yes, there are posts describing how there’s a limit of 100 songs in relation to playlists since the update, but I haven’t seen anyone else reporting or posting about this particular issue in relation to the Music Library. Like you, I can see all of my music if using the Mac Controller so there’s not a problem with the Library itself. I’m hoping that it’s simply a character limit in the code somewhere that will be easy to correct.

I’ll report it to Sonos and see if there’s any response.

This is just one of a few outstanding issues since the update and it’s hard not to feel stitched up by being so heavily invested in the tech that it’s difficult to vote with our feet and just walk away.

I’ve just spoken to Sonos Support, and they are aware of this issue and are trying to find a solution.

It’s only recently been raised as an issue by a small number of users and it seems limited to users of some iOS controllers only.

They believe it is not a problem for Android users.

I’m using an iPhone XR on iOS 17.5.1.

To help identify what’s causing the problem please could anyone with the same issue report here which iPhone and iOS version they are using.
