Sonos Music Library Management Issues With Mac

I’m currently using an iMac with macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 with four Sonos Play 1 speakers using Sonos OS S2 version 16.2. After updating, the path to my Music folder no longer appears in the Sonos Music Library Settings nor am I able to reconnect to the Music folder:

When I try the “Advanced” method, I get this - note that the Music Library folder is faded and cannot be selected.

After chatting with a Sonos Support Tech they confirmed that the access to the Mac’s Music Library was removed from the app and while Sonos has been made aware of the problem there is no estimated date as to when access will be restored. I now have a nice collection of Sonos paper weights.

Any other Mac users find the same thing?

    Sonos has recently published the following support page to get your local library working again.  Note, the fix requires you to download the PC or Mac app:

        How can this be such a big problem for the EXPERTS at Sonos ??? It took a download to break surely a repair is easy !!!!

          I would never recommend Sonos to anyone looking to buy wireless speakers to play music.  Every update fails.  I have to uninstall and reinstall the App to get updates to load.  And now I can’t even listen to my own music library since the last “improvement”.  Terrible company.

            Finally got my Music Library added. There was one sub-window in the Apple preferences where I had to indicate SMB protocols. I didn’t realize that at first, as well as adjusting the wifi settings as well. Anyway… happy to have access back.
