Came back from 3 weeks away, turned on sonos roam, opened sonos app on phone and no option to play stored  music on my device. Radio only option! 

Where's my downloaded music gone???

Why has the icon to access it disappeared from the app???

En pocas palabras, esto se està volviendo un dolor de cabeza.
Ya no vuelvo a comprar nada de Sonos Roam

In short, this is becoming a headache.
I will never buy anything from Sonos Roam anymore

Google hasn’t actually taken it away. It is a future plan. If you haven’t updated your Sonos software you would still have functionality.

Supongo que su publicación está un poco fuera de tema, pero pensé que planeaba vender su Roam pronto de todos modos. Tal vez deje de dolerte la cabeza cuando se venda.

I guess your post is a bit off topic, but I thought you were planning to sell your Roam soon anyway. Maybe your head will stop aching when it's sold.

Yes, but then there is always the factor of having the security vulnerability, whatever that maybe? - I think it’s best to close such security loopholes, personally speaking, as there are at least other ‘secure’ ways to continue to play our tracks.

Copplestone here again. Have successfully paired device with sonos on Bluetooth....one of the suggestions now Google has removed access on Androids. 

Still can't find my stored music. Don't understand how Bluetooth connection is meant to work.

Just use any App that accesses the mobile storage and can play your stored audio tracks on your mobile device speakers - most mobiles/tablets often come with a in-built media player, but otherwise you should find such Apps on the Google Play Store.

When BT paired, the audio will play to the Bluetooth connected speaker, rather than your internal mobile device speakers. If using a Sonos Roam or Era 100/300 you can also group those to any/every other Sonos speaker available in the Sonos App to play the BT streaming audio to the entire ‘group’ of Sonos devices.

Thanks for this but...in earlier messages I said I wasn't techy enough to cope with all this! I was kindly told to ask for help! So, sorry, but your message needs to be MUCH more in words of one syllable. 

"Just use any app that can..."..

I've no idea how to identify such an app and what to do with it once I've got it.

"When BT paired...".....no idea how, when, to do this.

Sorry. Will understand if yr patience runs out.

Is 'Files by Google' such an app?

If so, I download it...then what?!
