Queue screen need more room for track name.

 I think it would be better if there was more space for a track name in the queue.  If the three lines used to move tracks were hidden until an Edit command ( added to the 3 dot menu ) was available.  That new Edit command would bring up the 3 lines that allow the moving of a track.  Another option would be a smaller font size for the track names.

 You can see in the screenshot of Nielsen symphonies where you cannot see what the symphony number is.  If the 3 lines were not there that symphony number might show.  Another issue with having the 3 lines always there is when I scroll on occasion I’ll accidentally move a track.

I hear you….

However, the same queue when rendered on a tablet in landscape mode does reveal more of the track name. However, I can’t say how much more of the track name would be revealed in your example. Unfortunately, Sonos only opens in portrait mode on a phone.

Also, (and no offense intended) when scrolling in the queue if you are moving tracks accidentally; then you are applying too much pressure to the screen. Try using less pressure until needed to move a track.. 😊

It would certainly easier if they scrolled…not sure if that means after x time, or immediately. And I’d want it on all lines if necessary, not just the ‘selected’ one. I would hope this is on a ‘list’ somewhere, and just not gotten to yet.

One possibility would be to popup an expanded track name view as the user touches the artwork area of each track. This could popup instantly as the finger moved from track to track. I’m not sure exactly where this data should appear because on a small screen the popup might be obscured by the hand if the pop-up is displayed immediately above or below the line. Right handed people would be at a disadvantage. Probably a dedicated area at the top of the screen would be best.

Use a Sonos app that supports landscape mode.

controlav:

 I do use a pad on occasion, but I prefer the less bulky iPhone.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

I suspect he’s suggesting something like his own app…;)

Sonos does make what I find are less than optimal decisions about supported screen sizes. Discreetly mentioning someone else doesn't seems a kindness.

For grins, I took a look at Amazon Music’s app to see how they handle this problem.  It looks pretty much the same as it does for Sonos.  You can click the 3 dots to the right of the track to get a full screen popup of the item title, plus other info but nothing more that that.

I suspect ​@controlav is being careful about the rules of forum use, as explained here.

Particularly, I’d guess, about the third party clause in this section:

Keep it spam-free. The Sonos Community is provided as a service to Sonos customers and is not intended for the promotion of third party services, products, websites, or organizations. Please refrain from posting content that would constitute advertising, junk mail, spam, chain letters, or any other form of unauthorized solicitation.

Although there are likely other areas of concern, something ​@controlav and the moderators would be familiar with, not made public for the rest of us. I haven’t seen any posts that cross the line, and I respect the level of knowledge displayed. I’ve never found his posts to be not a ‘kindness’, just honest attempts to help.

If you touch and hold a queued track in the Android Amazon app you get a popup that has the full title.
