Sonos App Can't Detect Certain Playlists/Update Music Index

EDIT: Was able to fix myself. Hi everyone. I just set up two of my Sonos One speakers. I am able to play a lot of my music using my device (Samsung Note 10, Samsung music App). It seems to be able to detect a lot of my playlists. However I added some new music, and the Sonos app cannot detect the playlist. I also took a closer look and there are a few other playlists it cannot detect. A few times now I have  done the “Update Music Index Now” feature and it seems to do nothing.

 

If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate the help, Thank you

Hi there. I actually was able to fix the issue. I loaded the music on my PC and was using the PC control panel in order to play everything rather than my phone’s. Thank you for looking however!

Where is your actual local music library stored? Is it on a PC/MAC, or NAS box? What is the path to your library? (Include the device netbios name - if using).

How many tracks are currently stored in the library? If you ripped/tagged the files yourself and added their album art, metadata (tags). The type/source of files (Bit/Sample rates) etc. Type of playlists you are using eg. .m3u etc.
