Why no sorting solution for playlists?

I see a number of people who ask basically the same question. With the myriad of updates we’ve gotten, the dev team at Sonos can’t figure out how to add a sort option to the playlists? This seems so plebian and basic, it’s difficult to understand why it still hasn’t been done. Leads me to believe...

Synology SMBv1 Docker container workaround

So I've got a Synology NAS and a couple of Sonos speakers. Some day I got the stupid (!) idea to switch SMBv1 off and soon I found out that my Sonos stuff was unable to find my local music library. Of course I agree that Sonos should move to v2 or v3, but since there is no sign they will, even after...

I recently set up a Sonos system, and Spotify is the only service I’ve connected. I want to be able to play songs marked as “explicit” through Sonos, but they’re grayed out.
