I finally got alexa to recognize my sonos 1 speakers. When I give the command to play music on sonos, alexa states that amazon music is streaming on two divices and asks if I want to stream on sonos. I answer yes, and the music plays on both devices, alexa and the sonos speakers, when i say no, the music only plays on alexa. I only want the music to play on sonos...How do I do that.

You need to include the Room Name in the command. e.g. 'Alexa, play Soft Jazz on Kitchen Sonos' where Kitchen Sonos is the Device name in the Alexa App>Smart Home>Devices and the Room name in the Sonos App.

Recently I have become interested in old radiogram and have connected them via echo dots and made its own multi room.

It's not possible to sync music across Sonos and Echo devices. You could connect your radiogram to a Sonos Amp to output the music to your Sonos system.
