local music and Playlist

I have some local  .Mp3 music and am unable to save a que as a Playlist.  I find the Playlist process awkward. I simply wish to create Playlists from my locally stored music within Sonos that persist. I found several pre-made lists I would like to remove.

If the music files are stored on the phone, they cannot be save to a Sonos Playlist. The music files need to be stored on a NAS or desktop computer connected to your network where Sonos can always access the playlist.

Have you set up your music library in the Sonos app?

Rashi,

A dialog box popped up with the text "The queue only contains songs that can't be stored in Sonos Playlists. No Sonos Playlist was saved."

I am using Android Note 10+

Thank you. I have an old device I may be able to setup as a NAS. Thank you.
