I can't add songs to a playlist

I have Amazon music. Playlists in Sonos favorites. Playlists in Amazon music on the Sonos iphone app. I can’t add songs to any playlist. I was able to do so, that’s how I created the playlists. The playlists have <50 songs, about 20 each. 

Why can’t I add songs now? 

Sonos help had me disconnect from Amazon music once, that worked for a while. Broken again. I doing that repeatedly is silly/stupid. Perhaps Sonos lost their way - it was simple to use, now it just breaks. Speaker quality is irrelevant if you can’t get them to play.

Hi ​@coloradoburr,

Being able to create and edit Sonos Playlists currently isn’t available in the new Sonos App, but will return in a future update. For now, if you want to edit Sonos Playlists, please use the Desktop app to do so.

And when will the new update be available???? It should have been done a long time ago. And it's not possible to do it on the desktop app. It's really annoying !!!

I am not sure it was ever possible to add to an Amazon Music playlist from the Sonos app.  I am not saying it definitely wasn’t possible, it just seems unlikely.  I don’t recall ever trying to do this.

It used to be possible to edit Sonos playlists in Sonos, and these playlists could consist partly or wholly of Amazon Music tracks.  That has been temporarily lost, and I find that frustrating, as you do

I now do all my new playlists and playlist editing in Amazon Music.  The results are well integrated with Sonos and can be played without difficulty.
