In iOS14 Apple added a new feature to “Autoplay Similar Tracks” when a playlist or queue is finished.  Its supposed to continue to play similar music to what was on the playlist.  Similar to Create a Station that does work (but is fairly buried in Sonos and Apple), but instead it kicks in at the end of an existing playlist vs. creating an unending playlist from scratch like Create Station does from a selected song.

 

See here https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208383

 

Apple show an infinity symbol on the player to control this feature.

 

Its supposed to be somewhat better than create a station as it has the context of the entire preceeding playlist when picking a new song, vs. a single song.

You’re reading two companies public financials and know exactly what deals they’ve made in every detail. And you’re enough into Sonos development details you know who’s using who’s API. Fantastic. Don’t care about that and not digging through company financials just to let a company know a feature is missing when a service that has that feature is used through their tool. 

We are using the SONOS app and telling THEM we want a feature that’s missing when we use a service inside THEIR app. THEY should negotiate the details to make that happen without making excuses about who’s to blame. 

Merry Christmas!

So you'd rather level blame at whom you think is at fault than direct your effort towards the company which is actually tasked to fix the problem?  Good luck with that.

Oh and it's not too hard to see Apple is responsible.  The Sonos development API is quite public:
