Sonos APP: No longer allows speaker selection, music change

I can no longer select specific speakers to play specific music. Instead, each speaker plays something that was cued up days earlier and won’t shut off! My four speakers are now worthless. Anyone else have this problem? Were you able to fix it.

The new app needs to be retracted and the old app reinstated.

We have the same problem and others. It worked perfectly for the several years we’ve had it until this update. My husband and I cannot both control at the same time so that means if we’re having a party or company, only one of us can deal with changing the music, adjusting the sound. Super super frustrating, and continually defaults to a speaker we normally don’t use and we have to manually turn all the speakers on every single time we use it .

I’m having the same issue. Pressing and holding play on my Roam won’t join an already playing speaker. Going into the app and trying to add it manually spits an error about “cannot connect try again later.”

 

Trying to add another in-house speaker shows the check, but no audio from that speaker.

 

Unchecking speakers and clicking apply doesn’t uncheck them. They remain a part of the grouping.

 

This wasn’t amazingly reliable before, but now it is actively got me questioning just enjoying the silence and not bothering to listen to my music. I don’t want to fight this f’ing technology  I just want to listen to my music.

 

This is seriously stupid.

I’m going to shop other systems… I listen to music as a way to decompress, and the system is causing me to be frustrated Every time I use it …not worth the hassle.
