If I’m playing a playlist or maybe an ‘artist radio’, how can I tell what playlist/radio is playing? 

Sometimes I might have chosen it a day ago or someone else chose it. There’s no playlist name shown on the controllers, that I can see. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Depends on the Music Service. The screenshot is from Amazon, the OP has not stated which service they are using.

@rick.prenzl, The playlist’s name isn’t being displayed on the PC or Mac controller, only on the ‘Now playing’ screen of the Android/iOS controller; further, only when the playback is being controlled via Sonos app, not when being controlled via Alexa/Google Assistant.

For Spotify, the Desktop controller does not show the playlist name, but mobile does, and so do my apps.
