Album art from my personal library displays fine in the mobile app, but not at all in the web app. Is this a known bug or is there a solution?

Well Plex is perhaps another option, but in that case, same as iBroadcast, you might need to pay for the service to get the higher quality audio.

Otherwise I guess it’s a case of using the Sonos App locally, or instead remotely over a VPN server/client connection - I know that the Softether VPN server platform and a connection from an iOS device using L2TP over IPsec will allow this remote connection to work okay (obviously with an SMBv2 (or higher) link in the Sonos App to a local library share).

Thanks -- Plex is indeed an option, but like the other options, it adds a layer I don’t really want. And since Sonos is discontinuing availability/support of its desktop apps, that just leaves the web app -- even for local use, AFAIK.

Not sure when the desktop controllers will disappear - I guess you could use iTunes and AirPlay perhaps?
