In a prior, now locked. post I mentioned how I had to break up my m3u playlists to be 1000 tracks or smaller to work. Annoying but I wrote a script to automate it so it wasn’t too bad. After the 80.19.05 it seems that even 1000 track m3us are too big. They will load and when I hit play, it just spins forever. Now I need to figure out what the new, largest m3u playlist size is.
One step forward, two steps back Sonos.
I really fear bankruptcy for this company now. It’s almost a year since the ‘upgrade’ and the app is still only about 50% as useful as it was before.

Edit:
So my experiments show that the max size m3u playlist is between 100 and 250 tracks. Sigh.
- Pre May 2024 I was able to play Sonos playlists of > 1000 tracks with almost zero problems.
- Post may 2024 I eventually lost all access to my Sonos playlists so I made m3u playlists instead.
- Discovered that m3u playlists > 1000 tracks would not work.
- Post 80.17.09 “update” now m3u playlists > ~200 tracks do not work.
If there any Sonos die hards who want to buy my equipment, ping me.
