Can't add Spotify tracks to Sonos playlist

To troubleshoot a different issue, I removed and re-added all tracks to an existing Sonos playlist (using the Windows controller, as this option has STILL not been restored to the Android app!). At least, that was the plan. Re-adding from my local library worked fine, but I could not add the single song from Spotify that was previously in this playlist.

Is this a new infuriating limitation? Or might there be a solution?

It’s “funny” as wifie has been able to to add Spotify tracks to Sonos playlists from her Mac, but not ipad or iphone to great noise… I took to my PC just to see, and after an update (been forever since i used the Sonos app there) it happily allows me to add Sonos tracks to Sonos playlists! My iPhone still is not showing the “add ti sonos playlist”…

Rather annoying to have to get the laptops out to add some music to the playlist we share in Sonos…

On the iPhone 15 I was able to add a track to a Sonos playlist using Play Next. Of course that does me no good since I can’t Save the Queue as a playlist.

Huh. It seems that the problem went away of its own accord. Still no way to add tracks to playlists in the app, but the Windows controller now allows me to add Spotify tracks to Sonos Playlists again.

Thanks for all your reactions, problem solved!

@florismk! Glad you are happy! I wish it was gone, but I use the phone so much more than the laptop, it is merely a workaround! I expect much more similar if not same functionality between client platforms. But it seems to be entirely different teams developing in their own direction! It has bothered me to the point of looking at alternatives, I’m just too tightwad and deep in Sonos to toss my investment away…

I know, @Lakritstroll, the larger problem is that the new app is so awful and feature-poor. I expect feature parity as well, and still don't understand how Sonos could decide to launch that broken travesty of an update.

But within the larger context of the app not supporting playlist editing at all, I’m happy that the Windows Controller is back to fully functional. For me, as well, I have too much invested in Sonos devices to change system ‘merely’ because of a broken app.

The Desktop apps have always worked, it never had to become “back to fully functional” because the features were never taken away on the first place. (Well except for TuneIn Classic).

Except for the fact that this entire topic is actually about a Windows Controller issue: the ability to add Spotify tracks to Sonos Playlists had disappeared, and has now come back.
