Hi

Alexa doesn't support the voice control of locally stored music. Your options are:

1/ Initiate the music from the Sonos App and then control via voice. e.g. Next, skip, repeat, etc.
2/ Use something like Plex or My Media

Alexa cannot, yet, find music from your Local library. You can request Music from Spotify or Amazon music by name track etc but not yet from your local library. You can also play Tunein and Radioplayer stations via Alexa

You can control your local library music via Alexa once it is playing. So you can start an Album via the Sonos app and then ask alexa for next/previous, volume and pause.
Thanks guys - that's really helpful
