Thank you, it saved my system. I was ready to put it on roadside after the so called update. I've been for more than 40 years in the IT business and I've seen quite a couple of flops. Remember Windows ME … It was a complete mess, but compared to the latest Sonos App, it was near brilliant.

So bad that the Sonos management doesn’t read this forum. They should instead of beleiving that they know so much better than their customers. They should remember that they have that job because, as customers, we are buying their stuff.

Thank you so much for sharing the link and how to install. Glad to have the previous version again that gives me smooth access to my personal music library on Synology NAS where I can again browse through the differents maps and play full albums. Very very very satisfied with your post!!!

Thanks legend.

The old app is soo much better!  What the he'll were they thinking.  Nothing worked properly at all.

Going back to the old version saved my system.

Not working for me. When I launch it says that I have to update the app…..

I get that app update text box too, but I just close it and ignore it. I have found that even with automatic updates turned off, the app eventually updates itself to the new version. So I uninstall the new Sonos i app and then reinstall the Android v16 APK which I have saved in my phone files as a Favorite. Kind of annoying, but still beats using an app that has more than half of the legacy functionality missing!
