Streaming playlists from Apple thru Sonos app

Hi, I didn't find this problem covered anywhere else...I stream through Apple. When I start playing an Apple playlist arranged by Artist via the Sonos app, the app plays the first track from the playlist as it should, but then the following track flips to one from another artist. (So, I select artist X but then the second track flips for some reason to artist Y). I don't have this problem when I stream directly from the Apple app. Any ideas? Thx.

When you select the Artist Playlist, are you selecting Replace Queue (so the new playlist wipes and replaces the queue, rather than adding to it)? If not, it will add the playlist to the queue instead - and if you’re playing with shuffle, it will pick any other track in the queue to play next, which might be a different artist.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I did some digging in the app and can see the option you describe attached to certain multiartist playlists, but when I search for a particular artist in the Sonos searchbar and select the Apple artist playlist from the offerings I don’t get that option. I’ve attached a screenshot of the options I do get. (Starting a Station also doesn’t fix the problem.) Thanks again.

Hello, months before I was addicted to Apple Music and this occurred me sometimes, all the problem was that I was with low signal of wifi or far from the speakers and with the screenshot I see you signal isn't the best so I hope this happens to you so you could have an easy solution by only being nearby to your router, try it. :)

Thanks, I’m in the same location now and the signal is at full strength. That aside, everything else works as it should.
