    Hi Ben, currently you can't edit Apple Music playlists on Sonos. We're continuing to work with Apple to provide the best possible Apple Music experience on Sonos, and I know there is interest in seeing this feature. We'll pass your interest on to the team for you, but we don't tend to comment about what's coming for the future. Stay tuned to the community for updates on changes to your favorite services and any news.

      Hi Ryan, ok thanks for the reply. That's really the only feature lacking at this point. I look forward to its implementation in the future. The Apple Music integration is otherwise great.

        Right now the biggest problem my wife and I are having is managing playlists. Having to update playlists in the Apple Music app and then not being able to edit them in Sonos is a big shortcoming.

          I support this requirement completely. Last week-end I had the same confrontation with my wife.
          Editing Apple playlists from within Sonos should be key.

            This is definitely necessary. It's not straight forward to have to use iTunes or Apple Music on your phone, tablet or computer in order to manage playlists and then have them show up in Sonos. Plus, if I want to listen to a For You playlist, and add one of those songs to my library...right now I can't do so!

              Same here. If I can't manage the playlists from within Sonos it's not very convenient. I want to click 'add this song to my Apple Music playlist' whenever I hear a cool song on Sonos.

                  Hopefully, Sonos will update the App to utilize this capability. My Sonos usage has declined due to inability to add "Liked" songs to my Apple Music playlists. I love AppleMusic in my car with Bluetooth. Makes me wish I could just AirPlay to my Sonos Play1 from the AppleMusic app. I know there are workarounds to do this and that multi room isn't possible. I only ever play music to one room.

                    Adding tracks to my Apple Music playlist is very important to me. Please consider adding this feature soon.

                      Yes we need this feature! Hopefully with the Apple/Sonos partnership (Apple stores now sell Sonos) this feature will come soon. Apple Music has the best playlists imho, and may of us are in the Apple "ecosystem" -!; want to stay there. They also have a great catalog. But integration with Sonos needs to be better. I'm sticking with Deezer for now. It has the best integration with Sonos, is lossless over Sonos (not that I can tell a difference va Apple Music), and flow is nice. It's enough to keep me for now.
