Petition to Add Local Library Playback to Alexa/Sonos Voice Control

I can’t believe that this option isn’t available! I’ve just purchased an Echo Dot as well! Really disappointed.

Tell me about it, be careful as you might get accused of being a Debbie downer, this should have been there from The start

Absolutely. When I started on with my first sonos (ZP80) there was only local library playback. 4 Sonos Zones later it's still the major driver for me. Alexs support is only a nice gimmic without this.

What a silly thread. Who would be against it? I honestly cannot think of one person who wouldn't want this, and quite obviously Sonos is aware of the demand. They just haven't worked out how to do it yet, for it is far more complicated than online services. Just more melodramatic nonsense.

And by the way, basic playback controls of local library tracks is possible. As it is for any other services once the queue is started via the Sonos app. You just can't initiate play via Alexa, because there is no index listing in the cloud.

I do listen mostly to classical music.
More than half of my music library is not available on any streaming service.
Dear Sonos, PLEASE add local library to Alexa.
Note: Start a certain album would be enough for me.

I totally agree. Streaming my own library is essentially the main use of SONOS equipment, followed by streaming services for general non specific use. So, I add my voice for adding local library to Alexa. Thanks

I can only really use my local library due to poor local Internet due to rural area, poor speeds and ridiculous caps - I think this wouldn't be a huge step, since there's plenty of amateurs who have got this working, never mind a BILLION dollar giant company like SONOS

This function is needed. Very surprised it wasn't included.

Not melodramatic. Not being able to intiate search and playback form local is a serious flaw. Hobbyists worked out how to do it before sonos still haven't implemented it. I thought a select sonos user base was chosen to beta test it? Why was local
Library support not deemed IMPORTNAT?

Did I say it wasn't a flaw? Sonos knows this and knows it is important. Starting a "Ooooh, look at me! I'm calling out Sonos again, and again, and again . . . " on the premise of informing them how important it is, is not only not necessary, it is nothing but melodramatic nonsense.

Seriously! What's the point of having Alexa integration with sonos if it's only limited to music services that are integrated with Alexa.
What an over-hyped "upgrade".
If you can't control playback of your sonos library through Alexa, it's a complete wast of time.
