Won’t Play Next Song

Sonos Please Fix: When I play a playlist via Alexa it plays and I am able to use command “Alexa, Next” to play next song. But when I play a playlist from the app, the same command does not work. Alexa’s reply is, “what do you want to play?” Pretty annoying. So in order for you to use commands like “next”,”previous song” etc you have to initially have music play from Alexa and not app.

Hi Loop, if you're playing on a Sonos One, you don't need to use the name of the room in your command, and we're working on implied targeting too, but if you're using a Dot or other Alexa device to control Sonos, you should try with the name of the room involved in the line.

For example, "Alexa, Next on Living Room."
