Download a Sonos playlist
I have created a few Sonos playlists and I would like to copy the playlist songs to an SD card for playing in the car. I've searched and searched but all references I find refer to uploading songs or playlists to Sonos, I cannot find any references to how to download/export a playlist to other devices.
Is this possible? And if not is this a feature that can be considered for future updates? It is an incredibly simple feature to implement so I am amazed it hasn't already been implemented, and it seems a shame to spend so much time building playlists in Sonos that I can't make use of on other devices.
Just to clarify, all the songs I want to download/export are on my network, i.e. I'm not talking about downloading anything from any streaming services.
Thanks

It is easy enough to extract a Sonos playlist from the system (with a 3rd party app, with UPnP Spy, or a few lines of code), but the problem is using it somewhere else. If the music files are on a file share, for example, that isn't going to work in the car. If it is content from Spotify, for example, the url to the content wont work without authorization.
The easy solution is to use playlists from the music service you using (eg Spotify), instead of Sonos Playlists. You can use such playlists on your Sonos system, or in the car with the Spotify app there.
