Sonos Voice Assistant Issue With Playlist Name Recognition

Question

My Sonos Assistant doesn't recognize my Apple Music Playlists.  If I instruct it to “Play my Sia Playlist” or “Play my Apple Music Sia Playlist”, it just plays a variety of Sia music and not just those songs on my playlist.  Help please.  Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. After I sentmy post and before you replied, I changed my configuration from SVC to Google Assistant (GA) and it works with GA. BTW, before I sent my post, I had tried several names as you suggested and none of them worked soI concluded SVC wassimply not equipped to handle Playlist instruction. That’s why I tried GA.

Hi @StuHabWelcome to the Sonos Community!I have a suspicion that SVC (Sonos Voice Control) is playing a public playlist created byApple Music, rather than your own. You could try renaming your playlist so that it’s less likely to be mistaken for another - call it “test” at first to test it and to be sure, and if that works, rename it again to something meaningful that won'tbe mistaken for something generic - “StuHab’s Sia playlist”, for example.If this works, please report back - perhaps there’s a way for us to prioritise private playlists over public ones, in which case we could turn this topic into a feature request.I hope this helps.
