Multiple accounts in same household for separate playlists?

Hello everyone!

New Sonos customer. Just picked up four PLAY 5 units and have two SONOS ONE on preorder.

Just set up my system. Very easy.

Since I share this household with more than just myself, is it possible to create separate user IDs on the Sonos app so that everyone can have their own login with their own playlists? Currently as I see it -- unless I am missing something --- everything is tied together to just one account on all devices and you are forced to see everyone else's playlist.

Thanks in advance

    Anything new on this? Still getting my son's pop music interspersed with my classic Country. Looks like the last post was almost a year ago. Netflix has it. HULU has it. Why not Sonos?

    Sonos has it. What music service are you using.

    I am having the same issue where I do not want to see my wife's playlists and she does not want to see mine. The only option I have found so far is to at least put an initial and - in front of the playlist name e.g. X-Dance vs Y-Dance. That way you at least know who's Dance playlist is whose. I would still rather not see the other users playlists at all. Still waiting for a response from Sonos on this.

Still waiting for a response from Sonos on this.Its perhaps a case of whether the customer demand is currently there for these things, relative to the development costs and priorities. I think Sonos may go onto do more around the My Sonos Tab in the future, but they probably have more pressing matters with the voice assistant integration at the present time.

      Maybe we will see user-profiles appear in the App later on down the line, perhaps?... right now though, I’m not personally seeing too much demand for these things within the community here.

      Only applies to Sonos playlists being all together. And yea just name them your name.

      If you use playlists without n your service such as Spotify it does have profiles and will separate by who is using.
