Just downloaded the latest version.
It's gone all iTunes. It shows album artwork so only displays 4 album instead of a list of say 8.

Can I get the old app anywhere?

I have been using this for some time initially I hated it but have grown to like it. The feature to search all sources, phone, has drive and rhapsody is great.

Sonos have spent a lot of time listening to us about this. I do prefer the blue as opposed to black though.

If you search for track names it lists in the correct way. But the iPhone is too small to displsy cover photos.
I have over 500 albums, but few have artwork so I just have blank squares.

The scroll and alphabet search still exist and I can't say this impacts speed of search at all. The interface is prettier, the new integrated search is much better providing search through all services. This is instantly more intuitive than the old app, for example you can swip between the music menu and now playing and the layout makes it much easier to navigate. As noted above Sonos have listened and responded.

I felt the same when Sky introduced the Mini player in the guide and would always have it turned off to show more lines of the TV guide, but soon came round to it. Progress is usually good.

At least you can use it, I haven't been able to connect the iPhone or the iPad since the update. Done everything they suggest as well.
There advice all points to my hardware being at fault, it was working fine until there bloody update!
