Hi everyone, as of some cloud updates that have gone out, this should be fully resolved now. You shouldn’t need to take any steps other than making sure you’ve got Alexa configured properly (if you happened to remove it or anything of the sort during troubleshooting).

I have the same problem asking my echo dot to "skip" when playing Spotify on my paired Sonos play 1s. Worked fine until recently.

Will submit diagnostics tomorrow

Hi Sonos Staff,

Can you please advise if the issue when Sonos with Alexa doesn’t want to skip track on Spotify was resolved?

Hi all,

I am waking up this thread in hopes to come to a solution. I have a Sonos Beam and a Sonos One SL. I have Amazon Alexa/Music connected to Sonos Beam. As of late, I can no longer give the command “Alexa, skip this song” or “Alexa, next song”. Alexa responds with “I cannot skip this song”. Can someone please point me in the right direction. It is definitely a Sonos issue as we do have a Echo and Echo Dot that responds to the commands. Frustrating at times. Any help will be great. Thank you.

This issue is happening to me right now. Alexa on sonos will not skip to the next song. She responds to all other requests properly. It is a sonos problem because alex on amazon devices will skip to next song.

Having same problem. Using Apple Music. Can’t skip song in Sonos app or via Alexa. Alexa is rubbish on this. Was a pain to get going. Bit great for Apple Music users. Considering returning if I don’t get a quick fix

So if I use the Apple Music app from start I’m ok

if I start in Sonos app I’m ok

However, if I start by asking Alexa to play music, it will not skip track by voice command saying “I can’t skip track” or something of that nature.
If I then go into either Sonos or apple app I can’t manually skip track either.

so basically the Alexa is pointless for STARTING music. Music must be started in app if you want ability to skip. This is ridiculous. The whole idea is that you don’t need your phone????
