What playlist is this?

If I’m playing a playlist or maybe an ‘artist radio’, how can I tell what playlist/radio is playing? 

Sometimes I might have chosen it a day ago or someone else chose it. There’s no playlist name shown on the controllers, that I can see. Can anyone help?

Thanks

It shows on my Now Playing screen.

Depends on the Music Service. The screenshot is from Amazon, the OP has not stated which service they are using.

@rick.prenzl, The playlist’s name isn’t being displayed on the PC or Mac controller, only on the ‘Now playing’ screen of the Android/iOS controller; further, only when the playback is being controlled via Sonos app, not when being controlled via Alexa/Google Assistant.

    For Spotify, the Desktop controller does not show the playlist name, but mobile does, and so do my apps.
