A few notes about Local Music Library Functionality.
Fixes for all of the following issues will be addressed in future updates.
We appreciate your patience!
- After adding/removing a share, there can be a delay during reindexing where it’s not clear that Music Library indexing is happening, and some leftover elements of a removed share can still show up during reindexing. Be patient - it is in fact, still indexing.
- Music Library Search is not accessible in the controller without access to the Internet.
- Local Music Library will not work for alarms.
Additional things to consider specifically on Android:
- The “More” menu, Play Now and Play Next options may fail with "something went wrong" for local library content. Local Music Library albums are also currently unable to be favorited.
- - When a new library share is added, it doesn't appear in the music library settings page. The share does appear if you dive into Music Library > Folders. It may appear if the share disappears after closing/reopening the app, but the share is successfully added.
Things to consider specifically on iOS:
- No album art of Albums in Sonos Favorites
