My Sonos Assistant doesn't recognize my Apple Music Playlists. If I instruct it to “Play my Sia Playlist” or “Play my Apple Music Sia Playlist”, it just plays a variety of Sia music and not just those songs on my playlist. Help please. Thanks.

Sonos Voice Assistant Issue With Playlist Name Recognition
Best answer by StuHab
Thank you for your reply. After I sent my post and before you replied, I changed my configuration from SVC to Google Assistant (GA) and it works with GA. BTW, before I sent my post, I had tried several names as you suggested and none of them worked so I concluded SVC was simply not equipped to handle Playlist instruction. That’s why I tried GA.

Welcome to the Sonos Community!
I have a suspicion that SVC (Sonos Voice Control) is playing a public playlist created by Apple Music, rather than your own. You could try renaming your playlist so that it’s less likely to be mistaken for another - call it “test” at first to test it and to be sure, and if that works, rename it again to something meaningful that won't be mistaken for something generic - “StuHab’s Sia playlist”, for example.
If this works, please report back - perhaps there’s a way for us to prioritise private playlists over public ones, in which case we could turn this topic into a feature request.
I hope this helps.

I did ask a colleague to test before I answered you and he had success - it should work.
I’m glad to hear that you’ve found a way to play your playlists, however - thanks for updating the thread.
