Youtube Music not playing entire Library Songs - only select few

Is there a limit to the number of songs that can be loaded?

Hello @kbradsmith,

There is a total limit on the number of tracks on Sonos playlists of 10,000 tracks overall. 

Sonos should be able to access and play your Playlist in full if it is available in the linked YouTube Music account. Is your YouTube Music still pulling from suggest tracks or are you able to play your songs though the library subheading? 

Thanks Jean. Again, I’m trying to pull Song tracks from my Library collection which I believe has about 19k songs. 

I unistalled and reinstalled the TYMusic from my Sonos and tried shuffling Songs again. Here’s the screenshot. NOTICE there are only 999 songs in the queue. You mentioned it could put 10,000 in a playlist. Can you explain why this is limited to 999? 

Thx. Kevin

Jean, 

Here is what my Sono’s looks like when I pull in my Songs (from Library) on GPM. I get the max number of songs and, for some reason, a more random shuffle selection from my Songs/Library.

Hello @kbradsmith,

This would be a limitation imposed by the YouTube Music service in it’s 3rd party interface. I do know that YouTube Music is still working out the details in their system..

Just to check, can you clear the queue again and then load a playlist (larger than 999 songs) from a different service to make sure that this behavior isn’t occurring on other sources?

So you are confirming that is it something that YTMusic is imposing? My only other playlist that I can load to show over 999 is from GPM which I’d sent to you already. So, you’re telling me the limit is this? But my issue is that the songs are not random at all. They’re pulling only from my latest listened to albums and repeating a lot in the 999 songs. Is this also YTMusic? Thx

Each music service is responsible for their own UI in the Sonos app, along with all the information that comes into it.  Sonos merely gives them an API, all the coding is done by the service.  

 Thanks for the assist, @jgatie.

@kbradsmith, I can’t speak for YouTube in this matter but it seems like this limitation is something that they will have to iron out as a service if they want to successfully replace GooglePlay Music. 

Are you able to construct your own playlists within YouTube Music that will include more of what you would like to hear? I had similar issues with iTunes “random” playback where it seemed to think that I wanted to hear the same 25 songs on endless repeat despite having 40 gigs of music at its disposal. Some trickery was required to defeat the algorithm.   

Thanks. I thought that the idea of creating my own Library with albums, artist and songs IS my own playlist. 

Oh well. We tried.

@kbradsmith,

In an ideal world, it would be enough. In this case YouTube Music seems to require some more specific guidance on the matter.  

Please keep us posted on your progress.
