Updating sonos lists from Itunes

I have asked before and even been pinned to supposed answers but they seem to be above my pay grade. I cannot seem to get my Sonos system to update with new Playlists or all my playlists. I have updated the music index. This seems to be something that should be a simple update. Can anyone walk me through it in layman’s terms?

Try this:

In iTunes, select a playlist and go to File > Library > Export Playlist and save as an M3U file. After exporting the playlist to the “iTunes Media” or “iTunes Music” folder, re-index the music library in the Sonos app.

ok. I will try that.

I did find a long workaround. I deleted the imported folder and readded it. It is a silly answer as the process should be simpler than that. The readd indexing takes like an hour.

I found an answer. When you update the music index, you must do that on the Mac where you are storing the iTunes library… Then the playlist updates.
