Question

Adding albums from Spotify to my Sonos playlist

Hi all
If I am listening to music but searching for albums to add to my Sonos playlist from Spotify it won't let me add that album as the "done" button is greyed out? I can only add an album if I am playing it. Am I missing something?

Hello there, LetsRock. Thanks for posting. Could you explain the steps you are going through to add a Spotify Album to Sonos Playlists? Normally you should be able to see a black checkmark next to the playlist, showing that you have selected the playlist to bring the album to. Do you see this checkmark when adding?

Thanks!

Hi Keith thanks for coming back.
Ok I am in Sonos on my I pad and I then use search for an album if I try to add it straight to my Sonos playlist it won't let me as the "done" button is greyed out. If I then put the album to play it will let me save it as a playlist, ok at that point I realize I can then call it or name it whatever. My issue is that the albums I have saved already are not shown by Artist but by album name hence the need to rename. Ok I can delete each one and save again and rename as the artist but why can't you rename an album once already in your Sonos playlist?

Something else you can do.

You can add it to your Spotify My Music. When on the album click on ... at top right. choose more. Pick Add to Your Music.

This will add it under albums when browsing in Spotify (and that appears to sort by artist). You can then add Spotify albums to your list in My Sonos by clicking on top right... add to my Sonos. That will create new category under my Sonos that is all Spotify albums.
