Sonos Music Library Alphabet Scrolling Finally fixed, only took you over a year to fix this and you still haven’t fixed issue when playing along playlist. You have to keep scrolling down the queue to see what’s playing, another annoying feature that has gone.

I get it, really. But there are millions of people with working systems - there are thousands without. You’ll find all of those without a working system on here and Reddit, which skews the perception.

Just be sure to update your system too after updating the app.

With all due respect I would like to wait for a reply for someone who isn’t part of the “protect Sonos at all costs and never criticise” brigade :)

I do realise about forums being mostly people with issues, I was a software developer for 35 years before retiring and to be honest I use to trust Sonos completely but after that disaster and the way they treated long standing loyal customers last year, that trust has gone.

Yes. Don’t pre-emptively catastrophise…

That would be a nice luxury if it wasn’t for the recent disastrous history of the Sonos app. This is an important decision for me because if I do update there is no going back to the version that I have that is totally fit for purpose…. I’d hate to swap it for a version that isn’t.

What are you looking to achieve by updating to the new app? If the version of the app you are using satisfies your needs, I’d question the need to update, especially when your profile shows you own older devices. They may be are compatible with the new app but Sonos have previously admitted to issues with the Play:1 on the new app around volume responsiveness if I recall correctly.

That is a very good question and thanks for the reply :) The only reason to upgrade is because I don’t like the feeling of running old software that hasn’t had any security updates etc for well over a year.

I wonder if the possible issues with Play1 volume responsiveness will be something they can sort out or if it’s something that is permanent?

So I’m wondering if it might be safe for me to update my version (the old pre disaster version)?

I only listen to internet radio stations and FLAC files from my NAS.

If you still have the good old S2 I would suggest staying on it for a few more months. Current stability is not bad but there are still queue management features to be added. My guess is, that once the final features are added, the focus will be on stability so the remaining issues will get chased out.

Like you I have a background in delivering software and I agree this has been shambolic.

Excellent, thanks for the reply :)

There have been updates to address the issues with older devices, with work ongoing. I’ll refer you to the Sonos reply and links on the following Reddit thread for further reading.

I wouldn’t update yet, not worth the risk. I’ve been without most local library use, pre app update. They haven’t fixed everything yet. These people who say all is good, cannot be using a local library .

kind regards, I hate sonos
