the new Sonos ios app update is TERRIBLE! DO NOT UPDATE!

You’re lucky!! I cannot even connect!

@Ken_Griffiths 

Problem for me is the following:

• playing a track in two rooms (lounge and study) - all working fine (Beyoncé in example below)
• then decide to change the music - press play on new track (honey Dijon in example below) from Apple Music interface in Sonos App
• The Lounge and Study continue playing and new music default starts on Bedroom speaker when it has not been selected. It default starts on bedroom and leaves other speakers running with original track
• perjaps it’s new settings and functionality I’m not aware of but is happening all the time when I change music - I just want to swap music playing in the speakers I’m already using. 

Dunno then? …FWIW, I’m not using SonosNet here and our family & friends have had no issues connecting to their Sonos devices at their Homes too since the App update  - although some are complaining about the missing ‘widely-mentioned’ features and find the App slow in places, but no issues with their speakers being connected/working AFAIK.

I guess some routers/networks may not be compatible aswell then, or ‘perhaps’ there’s some SSDP multicast device discovery issues across your LAN subnet… I personally didn’t think that much changed recently in terms of the device firmware/software, just a (‘remote’) controller app update for the most part, I thought🤔?

  - and when selecting new speakers it takes the existing music back to the start of the track 

 

And one extra thing - when I change 

Just to clarify, are you looking just to switch the playing audio on ‘lounge’ & ‘study’ to play just on the ’bedroom’?

If so, do these steps perhaps work…

1. Play music on ‘lounge’ & ‘study’.
2. Goto ‘grouped rooms’ screen and add ‘bedroom’ and select Apply.
3. Return to group rooms and deselect ‘lounge’ & ‘study’ and select Apply.

No. The issue is that I’m playing audio in the lounge and study. I want to replace that audio with a different track. When I start playing the new track the old track keeps playing on lounge and study AND the new track starts playing in the bedroom when I have not selected or grouped that speaker. Previously selecting a new track would interrupt playing music and play thru those speakers. Have found an “interrupt queue “ selection when selecting track but it does not change the behaviour. Very strange. Hopefully a glitch that can be fixed with software update.. 

Thanks Ken. Hopefully it’s a software glitch. 

Not sure if this may help here too @Syd_Elan, but…

The selected room (or group) at the top of the slide-up ‘room picker’ is the group co-ordinator for any audio playback you select - You can select another room/group from the slide-up list of rooms to bring it to the top (in focus) and then any music playback you start after that selection, will then play on that ‘other’ room, or group, instead.

Whilst the slide up ‘room picker’ screen is fully open you can control the playback on any room/group and goto each of their ‘now playing’ screens and/or access the ‘grouped room’ screens for each ‘co-ordinated’ group.
