Question

Did 100 song queue limit also return with new app?

With the latest app update it seems like I can’t load playlist longer than 100 songs from AMZN playlists.  I tried with the desktop app and it worked fine.  Tried same playlist via the iphone app and it loads only 100 songs.  I know this was an issue about a year ago, but it seemed to be working fine until recently and I’m guessing it is the new app update.

With today’s 80.04.04 version on iPad, tested with Amazon Music > My Music > Playlists and a playlist with 142 tracks:

Add to End of Queue > puts all 142 tracks to queue

Play Next > puts all 142 tracks to queue

Replace Queue > puts first 100 tracks to queue

Play Now > puts first 100 tracks to queue

Shuffle > puts first 100 tracks to queue

 

So far haven’t received any errors when playing and can select a song beyond 100 and it switches to it. Tested with having 526 tracks on the queue. But, I do wonder what’ll happen tomorrow after not using the app for hours. On Android that’s caused issues for me. The 80.04.04 Android app also plays tracks beyond 100 ok so far (that same 526-track queue).

 

Edit: since the Clear, Edit and Save options are missing in the Queue UI, the only way to start playing a fresh longer playlist with shuffle is to first Replace Queue with one song and then use Add to End of Queue to get all tracks added (and delete the first song). Then tap the shuffle icon in the now playing UI.
 

Hopefully the Replace Queue, Play Now and Shuffle would be fixed for the next release and at least Edit queue added (and multiple delete in queue implemented).

Android App. All I really want to do is shuffle my "favourites" Playlist on Amazon Music which has about 400 tracks in it. Only the first 100 are added to the queue and I'm unable to select any track beyond the first hundred.

It used to work, it doesn't now. I'm sure it's not my bloody Wi-Fi.

All,

   I wanted to give an update as to a “resolution” (work around is better term) to populate AMZN playlist of >100 songs that I received from support.  First, here is a statement about the new app and queue manipulation:  “For the new Sonos app, You can be able to view queued content, add to the queue, or "play next", but you cannot edit queue order or remove tracks and our work-around for that is you can replace an existing queue with a new queue.”   They also pointed me to this link that somewhat explains how to add the >100 songs:  https://support.sonos.com/en/article/add-tracks-to-the-queue

   So, while not terribly intuitive, if you go to your playlist and select “Play Next” for the entire playlist, it will add the entire list to the end of the queue.  Great, but how do I clear the queue if I want a new playlist to shuffle?  First, select a single song you don’t mind adding to your queue and “replace queue”.  This will clear the queue and populate with only the one song.  Then, go to your >100 song playlist and select “Play Next”.  This will append the entire playlist after the first song you populated.  Then you can shuffle or play straight through.

  BTW, the desktop app is much easier to you just select the >100 song playlist and click, “Replace Queue”.

  Although not ideal, at least I have a way to add my entire playlist now (up to some limit I haven’t tested).

Thanks for this update srousset.

This workaround is what I needed until Sonos developers fix the issue.

Same issue as of 8/10/2024. Your instructions to replace queue with 1 song then add to end with full plays list worked perfectly. Software bug for sure, but thanks for the fix!

 I have an Amazon Music playlist that is 657 tracks long.  The behavior described above adds the 100 tracks with those three options.  Where it differs is when I use the options that supposedly load the entire playlist.  In my case those options load 500 tracks.  Of course it first tells me Unable to load queue.  After some time the 500 load anyway.  When I load the first track then use Add to end of queue I get 501 tracks.  First gotta’ deal with the error again.

 Looks like there is no 500 track limit if I can get 501 tracks to load into the queue.  Software glitch…YES.

 This time tried an Apple Music playlist using Add to end of queue.  It put 606 tracks in after telling me Unable to add to queue.  I’m guessing that’s the actual size of the playlist.  Hard to tell with Apple or I don’t know where to look.  So variations do exist based on service used.
