Amazon Music and Sonos app tracks don't match

@ratty - it's disappointing but I will just have to live with it.

I was hoping that there was a way to delete duplicate tracks from within the Sonos app itself.

By the way I didn't know that the reason why I can't play Amazon Music through my Sonos system was because of DRM.

Cheers anyway 👍 

Amazon must simply have multiple entries for the Madonna track you identified. It could be a database error or there may be multiple instances in the catalog, from different albums. 

In terms of DRM, as noted I was talking about the tracks downloaded by the Amazon native app onto your mobile. These are only playable by that Amazon app, for the obvious reason that if they were DRM-free they could be stolen. 

For play on Sonos the system clearly needs to authorise your account with Amazon in the usual way. 

You are right as it has happened with numerous artists but Madonna is the worst affected!

I will just have to make my own playlist, I will google it as I have never attempted it yet!

Playlist on Sonos or on Amazon? Sonos Playlists are saved queue snapshots. As for Amazon, in my experience the easiest way to build playlists is to install their PC/Windows app and use that.

@ratty - on Sonos, I rarely play music on the Amazon Music app as the music can't be played through my Sonos speakers and the music just doesn't sound the same through my smartphone (tinny) speakers!

I didn't realise that I already have a playlist as you say by saved queue snapshots.

Over the last few months I did select from either of the options 'Play Now' or 'Play Next' so that's how the playlist must have been compiled?

To save a Sonos Playlist you’d simply open (if necessary) the view of the queue and hit ‘Save’.

By the way the Amazon Music app on your phone can ‘cast’ to Sonos speakers (though I suspect they may need to have been discovered by Alexa first?). You’d hit the ‘cast’ icon on the ‘Now Playing’ screen of the Amazon app and the stream would be handed off to the chosen Sonos room. 

I don't use Alexa after reading bad press about privacy issues but thanks anyway.

If you create playlists using the Amazon Music app, the playlists will also appear on the Sonos app under Browse > Amazon Music > My Music > Playlists 

Thanks for that info as I find it easier to compile my playlist using the Amazon Music app than the Sonos app which I find is too cluttered!

I shall be using the above method in future. Cheers 🍻
