Sonos Music Library playlist

Hi
I have about 2500 MP3 files in my music library.
When I start playing, everything is fine - but then I fx. watch some tv, when I again want to hear music and start playing the music library playlist it starts from number 1 again. Isn’t there a way that Sonos remember the last song played and can continue from there???

It’s pretty stupid to listen to the same 10-20 songs again and again :)

I know that I, via the app, can scroll down to the last played song or shuffle the songs. But I mainly use Google assistant voice commands to start and stop playing music.

Just shows how Sonos have concentrated on streaming and totally ignored their older user base who still play music from their own sources. I have put many apost about neglect and how painful the queue is to use now but to noavail. Pity as I have 11 Sonos units but will not be buying any more - not that Sonos will care! Unfortunately I don't recommend Sonos any more as there are cheaper units out there that do streaming just as well. Sonos always had an audiofile fanbase but that has dimmed with the dumbing down of things like the queue.

    I’m just a customer, all I can do is to refer to Sonos Power Consumption While Idle / Notes as source.

     

    All Sonos components take 3 minutes to go into idle mode, unless part of a Sonos home theater surround setup. The 3 minutes until idle can be initiated on a surround setup when audio is paused. If pause or mute is not initiated, idle power mode takes 13 minutes for all devices part of a surround setup after the audio signal ceases from the TV.

    That’s idle power mode, whereas Autoplay idle is different. So 3 minutes after autoplay idle mode, if nothing is played, the whole room goes to low power state.

    We just tested this post-TV-watching queue situation and it seems the speaker’s queue may not be reactivated and so neither a “play” command nor the Play button would resume playback. The app will be required.

    Not in my experience. Either I’m waiting for Playbase and surrounds about 13 min. to revert to the previous queue, otherwise I got to grab the Sonos app.

    Thanks for reporting this @Smilja, I guess this bears more investigation.
