My sonos app is no longer shuffling my apple music library. This needs to be fixed asap. I have around 1000 songs in my library. I have had sonos for over 5 years and I have used sonos for music everyday. I use it with my Samsung galaxy s10+.
Not being able to shuffle music is a deal breaker so if this doesn't get fixed, I will be looking into other sound systems.

When you are on apple music app, on the song library, click on any song. It will create a queue of songs shuffled or in alphabetical order. This is something sonos did before.
When you are in the sonos app, click on apple music, go to the song library, click on a song, it only plays that one song and doesn't create a queue like it used to.
This is clearly a sonos app issue.
I lack a time machine so cannot determine exactly what used to happen, but I can say that the options presented on a song from a music service in the Sonos app are determined entirely by that music service. ie if it did change, it was Apple’s decision to do so.
However, I have never seen any music service offer shuffle from an individual song, and I am unclear how that is technically possible based on my understanding of SMAPI, so I have to question the accuracy of your memory on this.
+23You can shuffle the Sonos queue with any content. Please be specific about what exactly has changed for you? I think you need to complain to Apple, but its hard to be sure without more detail.
It is not an apple music app issue. I'm using the sonos app. When you go on sonos->apple music->songs->click on any song
Normally it automatically shuffles the whole apple music library. Shuffle is enabled on the queue but now it only plays the one song I click on. If I want to play additional songs, I have to add it individually to my queue.

Does Apple Music / Library / Songs / Shuffle not do what you require?
Certainly clicking on an individual song isn’t going to shuffle anything, because how could it? It’s just one song.

Why? Because you see something different in de Sonos app? It is still not clear if Apple did not change things. It would be nice to know if others have this problem too, so we could maybe find out more.
