New Sonos App Wishlist

Overall, the new Sonos app seems to be an improvement over the previous version. But I am disappointed that many useful features from the previous app weren’t included. So here is my wishlist for the new Sonos app:

  • Bring back the shortcut to the EQ settings on the Now Playing screen.

  • Bring back the “HD” and “Hi-Res” icons on the Now Playing screen when streaming lossless or hi-res lossless music from your local music library.

  • Bring back the number indicator on the volume slider on the Now Playing screen.

  • Under About My System, show what audio format is playing after “Audio In:” while playing TV audio.

  • Bring back the alphabetical search/quick scroll feature for local music libraries.

  • Include local music libraries in the Search feature.

  • When viewing albums from a specific artist, allow the option to switch from list view to grid view.

What other features would you like to see brought back or added?

Particularly missing the easily accessible EQ, why the heck did they bury it in settings? 🙄

My number one wish is to get back all the queue management features. That includes adding a track to a queue without replacing the queue, removing a track from a queue but not from your whole library, rearranging your list, clearing the queue, saving a new list, etc.

Yes to all those power features, but first make it possible to ask to “play next” on a track or an album, which I would have thought was fundamental...

If all these features are truly missing on this first rollout (I have not fully tested yet) then my number 1 request is to allow users the option to revert to the old app until the new app has the features they are expecting still working.

Alarm and sleep timer please! These were such basic functions that were used on a daily basis 😢
