The Ace updated features mentioned here:

When in Denmark? Still no a-z scrolling here…. approx

No A-Z scrolling here.

(Also ​@SilverGrey )

The article says the updates will be rolled out in phases. I believe getting an app update doesn’t necessarily mean the feature will appear immediately. This was the case for the ability to add songs to a Playlist - the app was updated, but the functionality appeared to users in stages. 

Just checking - have you also run the System Update too?

Hi ​@Kos 

It is not a question of location:

Various users will get the update made available to them largely at random.

I hope this helps.

​@Rhonny

App and system updated and no change that I can see..

It will come. 

I did the update now but still no a-z?

Edited.

Hi ​@Kos 

Please also note that although the new functionality is contained within the latest update, you may not see any changes until we activate a flag that enables the changes - the roll-out may be controlled by this mechanism rather than the update process itself.

I hope this helps.

Recently Played:

“Unable to load content.”

I’ve seen that error a few times too, not with just this release. 

One thing I’ve also noticed, and it may have been there for a while, is it not shows “Music Library” when playing content from there. 

Hi ​@bockersjv 

I’m not sure it ever did - there is no space for it in the compressed Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen. There is room only for the room name, the artist name, the song name and the album name. On the full-size Now Playing screen, there is a lack of any music service logo, which kind of implies that it is the Music Library that is playing.

Hi ​@MmTt 

Sorry to hear of this issue you are having with Recently Played content being missing.

Please try force-closing the Sonos app and re-opening it. If that does not help, please try a reset of the Sonos app instead: User icon » App Preferences » Reset App.

I hope this helps.

Nope, didn’t help. Should have mentioned in my post that I tried all of those things prior to posting. Also tried removing services and adding them again but the “Recently played” section still didn’t show anything recently played.  

Now, a couple of hours later it works again - I guess that’s just the way the ‘new’ Sonos app is, sometimes things work and sometimes they don’t. 

Hi ​@MmTt 

Honestly, that sounds like the app had trouble communicating with the cloud - a router reboot may have helped, if it was not already resolved.

I have seen no such issue on my own system, but if you see it again, I’d recommend the router reboot. In fact, I recommend you reboot your router several times a year whether you encounter any issues or not, Sonos or not.

I hope this helps.

Well…. when is the ‘flag’? Has anyone gotten the a to z feature back now?  

Still waiting here. Intrigued as to how it will look. 

​@Kos 

The ability to add a song to a Playlist was rolled out over the space of about a week, as I recall, so your flag might not activate for a while. But it might activate in five minutes. I’d be fairly sure the moderators on here don’t know when your specific account will allow A-Z scrolling. 

It hasn’t been there for the last year. Is there an emergency that requires it today?

Definitely have the A-Z scrolling. And it’s much appreciated as I have an extensive collection of music, over 20,000 tracks.

I have letters of the alphabet segmenting my library, but no scroll. Am I missing something? 

Not sure what you mean exactly. If I bring up the ‘Artists’ screen and touch, say, the “R” letter, it scrolls immediately to the beginning of the artists listing starting with “R.”  The letters remain static but the list scrolls. This is vastly superior to having to use manual scrolling with one’s fingers or hand. Kudos to Sonos for making the letters big enough so that even my fingers can touch them. 

FYI, this is running on an iPhone Pro Max with IOS 18.5 with, of course, the latest version of the Sonos app. I can’t testify that it would work on anything else.

I don't have a list of letters at the top of the screen (I'm assuming that you do? ). But, in the list itself, I have each letter of the alphabet followed by the albums or artists starting with that letter. So perhaps only part of the updated UI is showing for me. 

Yes I did… it correctly says ‘build 85.0-65270’ for the units. However, for the app (iOS) it says ‘build 80.21.6’ and not 80.22.33…? So I guess patience is all there is :)
