Sonos + Alexa Echo + Pandora: Stops after 1 song


When using Sonos with Alexa Echo and streaming music service (Pandora and Amazon Music), playback stops after one song. Very frustrating. I have tried disabling the skill and re-enabling to no avail. Help

I have experienced this same issue with Sonos One/Alexa. When it happens it’s usually after I’ve told Alexa to ‘pause’ followed by resume (15 or so minutes later).

Same here.... reason to return.... Sonos One pair + Amazon Music. Only plays 1 song from a station.

We to are having the issue, we start Pandora with Alexa and it stops after 1 song. I tested with paying Pandora on the Echo Dot and it continues to play.

No fix for me. I have completely redone the setup in the entire house (18 speakers) 3 times, along with numerous other experiments. Literally slent weeks on this. Still Alexa plays one song on Sonos, then quits. Help!
