Connect:Amp to non Sonos speakers?

Answered

I recently moved into a house with an 11 room Sonos set up. The old owners left all the equipment except for 1 room, the living room, which would be the 12th room in the set up.

Why would Spotify not allow list by Artist in the Sonos/Spotify page?

Question

I just don't get why the Sonos app - using Spotify - has My Library / then Playlist, Album or Song - but not Artist? How do I list all songs by a specific artist?

Sonos Sues Lenbrook for Bluesound and BluOS, Alleging Patent Infringement
