Sonos App iOS can't add songs to playlists - Tidal

Hi,

I am using the new Sonos app on iOS and there seems to be no way to add songs to Sonos or Tidal playlists from the app. Is this really true or am I missing something? Is it up to the music services to do something? 

 

If true, this is HIGHLY disappointing as it was the primary way to build playlists between using the Sonos app and Tidal playlists - which I also use the latter outside the home. Please fix!

Don't worry you are not alone. I have the same issue now on Android after the app was overhauled. I can no longer add songs to my already vast playlist  library built up using the Sonos app via Tidal. All it allows me to do is favourite songs for Sonos or add to the Tidal library that does not add it to any playlists or to the default Tidal likes playlist

I have been a Sonos customer since the beginning. I wrote the CEO three times the day the new app came out. I have never been so disgusted in my life. No song search no ability to add a song to a playlist buggy as all get out and so un user friendly. It isn’t just a matter of figuring it out, it just isn’t there and it completely stinks, I don’t know who was responsible but I feel sorry for them.

Oh, you wrote to the right jackxxx about it - he’s responsible.  He just doesn’t care what you or any of us think about it.

Usually the community page of an app or software has the Company answering the questions posed but this Sonos Community page has not had one response from Sonos. This is almost as disappointing as the new system update...

Like here? Or here? 

There have been several responses made by the Sonos Forum moderators, including posts in this forum, they tend to be ‘shouted down’ by many other posts, and get lost in the clutter of ‘new’ posts.

Sonos drives me crazy! But I found a solution that works for me as a Mac and iPad user.   I just use the Apple music app and AirPlay where Sonos shows up when I click the Air Play icon.  Problem solved, simple...but why isn’t it described anywhere?

Based on this, it looks like they should have a fix by early June.  
 

Coming soon

  • Continued improvements to navigation for visually-impaired customers: mid-June
  • Adding to queue and playing next: early June

Why is there no response from anyone at Sonos on this topic?

Because this is a community forum, and not a forum to communicate with Sonos Support?

There is no longer any playlist functionality.  Early moderator replies said playlist editing would return. That was a month sgo. But that has fallen off the known issues and future action steps list.

Most likely another example of corporate greed. Sonos must be somehow competing with tidal and is therefore limiting features… to bad… it’s time I leave Sonos behind. I should have this already when they forced people to move from to the version 2 of play 5 … making older versions incompatible. So wasteful and frustrating.
