I just signed up to Amazon Music and have connected the service to Sonos. Problem is I am only seeing up to the letter “L” in the playlist library?

I don’t quite understand when you say you only see playlists upto ‘L’ as all the playlists showing here are numbered and in numerical order - see attached screenshot unless you’re referring to another personal set of playlists in the App service?

When I access “My Music” and then “Playlists” for Amazon music, I can only see about half of my Playlists up to the alphabet letter “L”. Maybe there is some kind of a limit as to how many Amazon Playlists you can have for Sonos?

Yes, there maybe a limit on your own amount of playlists - I think Amazon limit their own to around 500 in the App.

The limit is not in the app: the limit is in the Amazon implementation of SMAPI, and is some multiple of 100 as I recall. 500 sounds likely.

Cheers and Merry Xmas! I’m not happy because I love the Amazon platform but if it won’t let me see my entire playlist library on Sonos then I will stay with Apple Music where I can access 100% of my Playlists.

Hmm, I have a vague recollection of Apple having a similar limit too, but I could be wrong. Let us know!

I’ve just discovered a workaround for this issue. I have 121 playlists in my Amazon music app, but only the first 100 show when I go to my Amazon playlists in the Sonos app. But I can search by title of the playlist for one of the ones further down the list that doesn’t show on the Sonos screen, and it will come up in the Search results. I can open it and play it from there. A bit of extra work, but I can at least access it this way. I’ve also renamed a few of my most used playlists so they show up near the top of my list.

Thanks so much for the reply but I’m not happy overall with how Sonos works with Amazon. I got on to an Amazon rep today but he was hopeless! I will try getting on to someone at Sonos on Monday but not expecting any miracles. Why can Apple music work without a hitch and show my entire library, yet not with Amazon? Most likely some politics between the 2 comnpanies. LOL
