Where is the music index now option and the new S2 app?

Great tip - just done it. Thanks! How do I stop auto updates?

pp64: I’m told that APKMirror only has the 16.1 app for Android phones. we all have iPhones. I spoke to Sonos yesterday and was assured that an updated app would be released mid-June which would include the ‘own music library’ option, though what else might disappear, who knows… I am prepared to give them until then and we’ll see.

@SONOS what a butch of idiots … after 4 months it is still not yet fixed. That is an utter shame. That will stay as the most stupid update in app history. Congratulations ! Gold Medal of least customer orientated brand :(

I have used Sonos since I last posted, but last week I thought I’d give it another try. No update requested but my own library is now an option via Source, and as yet, I haven’t found anything missing. So, taken 3-4 months to resolve. I worked in the IT industry and we always took a backup prior to updates to enable rollback in the event that the update caused issues. Perhaps Sonos ought to consider that option to save their users unnecessary pain, or perhaps they just don’t care… As I previously stated, whenever asked, I recommend that other people find an alternative as I can’t recommend Sonos any more. 

I suspect you worked in a different sector of the IT industry, what you were running, how it operated and how it was managed required a backup for every roll out.

I can’t even remember the last time I worked on a system where rollouts had a mandatory backup requirement. The system, platform design, software development made it unnecessary.

When planning a rollout, taking pre-rollout specific backups where appropriate and having a clear rollback plan should always be part of the plan. It doesn’t mean every rollout involves backing everything up, or once beyond a certain point there is an ability to easily roll back.

While I have no problem calling companies out when they mess up, I think it’s disingenuous to think the Sonos engineering teams just throw caution to the wind and throw stuff out. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t a lot of pressure and disagreement prior to the release between different parts of the business, but ultimately everyone working wants to get paid and there is only so much to be gained once you have pushed back and voiced your concerns. It doesn’t mean you stop doing your job properly or planning releases even if you don’t agree with the decision.

Tried Sonos again this morning and it immediately requested an update. One update later and my music library had again disappeared from both my Macbook and my iPhone. Managed to refine the shares and all good again but shouldn’t have to go through this every time Sonos issue and update. As I have an old Connect cabled into my sound surround system in the living room, I also have the old S1 app which I checked and is still working as it always has with the good old familiar layout.

Another update for the new app this past week, and still two things missing that used to be there with the old app:

1. Sonos will NOT reconnect to the internet after a glitch. I have to set up each of my four devices separately!!! My other 7 devices (phones, iPads, TV, Alexa, etc) always reconnect immediately, once the internet is back online.
2. The convenient A~Z index on the right side of the Music Library categories is still missing.
