Playlist Editing

Could Sonos let us know where they are on allowing some form of playlist editing? Following the merger between Napster & Rhapsody (or vice versa) I have playlists filled with "track unavailable" debris items (eg 365 tracks on a 2500+ playlist). Because there is no way of sorting them (eg on a PC Controller), even when I note that a track is not available, there is no way for me to sort the playlist eg alphabetically or search the list to nail and boot out the offending item (or even better, allowing me real time to see something similar that is available and do a swap). The lack of any editing playlist capability is, in my view, the Sonos systems weakest (and perhaps only) failing. I note previous comments on backup files: I was not aware of this "new" weakness and it would be a disaster if I lost my playlists (even the ones with Napster debris). Come on Sonos: it cant be that hard to have some playlist editing and playlist backup?

    A while ago I posted 5 ideas, including (among others) playlist editing: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/five_ideas_to_make_sonos_even_better. I never got any feedback from Sonos. Too bad.

      just a simple sort by track name would be huge.   big big fan of the sonos, but playlist management is very poor.

        Same here. I want to add some songs to my playlist, but I'm not sure if they're already there or not. It seems the only way to find out is to read through a list of 400 songs!! That's just nuts.

            absolutely need to update and improve the Sonos to allow us to edit songs- such as editing the length of our songs, can do this on our playlist in iTunes but sonos doesn't have a way to transfer this info.

            Having lost my playlists more than once now I would definitely back the idea of being able to export and back up my playlists above everything else. I'd also like to be able to find a tune when I'm out and about (i.e. through the controller app on the phone) and add it to the playlist offline so it will update when I get home. Rather than having to remember the track and wait till I get back to add it.

            As above, really need a playlist editor.  In my case, I switched file format (from flac to m4a) and now need to simply change ALL the file names on ALL my playlist; something that sb trivial to do, but as currently set up would take many man-hours...

            took me awhile to find this thread again. 4 years old, and still no reply or updates from the sonos development team. How does one get their attention???

              Ditto to all of the above. Dear Sonos, 1) the items in the Sonos Playlist should be available for viewing by song or album list, without having to opening to Queue. 2) One should be able to select the album one wants to play from the Sonos Playlist, without having to open all items to the Queue. 3) One should be able to see all items in the Sonos Playlist, to check whether the current music is already there.
              4) One should be able to edit the Sonos Playlist without opening it to the Queue and one should be able to edit the Sonos Playlist by album as well as by
              as well as by song.

                +1 for basic sorting
