Finally switched over to Sonos app..

Used to use the Sonos app exclusively. Then as we all know Sonos threw us a bomb that messed up a lot of users. After reading the constant complaints and issues so many were having, I went with the SonoPhone and Clic apps. They worked fine and I didn’t do any Sonos update's for two years. Now, I listen to SoundCloud most of the time if not a movie. Lately, SoundCloud and Sonos weren’t playing well together and I threw in the towel. I downloaded / updated the Sonos app……and ..drumroll 🥁🥁…. the Sonos app has been great and SoundCloud is perfect once again . 
Now I have a question..can one have the option “ No Content “ in a room , or will it always show music or tv?

You mean like this?

Had a 6 hour power outage the other day, the rooms I haven’t yet played in show this:

If you put something in the queue, play it and clear the queue you get the no content label.

 Now.. if only there was an option to delete the whole list at one time…

So I’m a long-time Sonos user; my whole house sound system is built around Sonos devices that, mostly, work dependably and well (needing an occasional reboot to keep things working correctly).  My problem is with the indexing of my albums.  Randomly, certain artists & their albums won’t categorize correctly.  The albums disappear and songs are listed by their track number regardless of album.  Has anyone had a similar problem and discovered a fix?  It was really nice to consistently access a favorite album and hear it as it was recorded.  I should note that this happens randomly and not consistently.  Some artists and their albums are indexed correctly, but others aren’t.  I haven’t been able to identify the common denominator in those that do versus those that don’t.  Any suggestions?  (I’ve tried deleting and re-adding my music library multiple times to no avail!)

Is it possible you’re seeing this?

Although, your symptoms don’t match that specific problem. Have you looked closely at the metatags of the problem albums to make sure they are correct?

I did a bit more poking around with the various ways of accessing the music collection on my hard drive and discovered that if I sort by albums, most all of the music displays properly by track number within the album.

However, if I sort first by artist, all sorts of funky things happen, including some music sorts not by artist’s albums and then by song titles within each album, but all songs by that artist sorted together alphabetically regardless of album.

Very strange!  (And not at all convenient!)

Rather than posting here for the public (although we’re interested), you probably want to present your findings to Sonos, by calling Sonos Support to discuss it.

Occasionally, the moderators here are able to forward some information to the various teams, but you’re much better off supplying that data directly to support.
