Though, I will say, maybe I would of never had to rebuild a Playlist once if Sonos would provide the ability to download and save a Playlist as a backup or allow a user to lock which particular Sonos speaker the app pulls the Playlists from. So, lucky for you that you had never had to rebuild a Playlist in your 10 years. Who even had me try and do test Playlists. Oh, and I “was” in direct contact with a Sonos Supervisor Tech Support representative. I had to rebuild my Playlists at least 6 times in the last 6 months. To all who have responded, odd and nonsense and to never had that issue in the 10 years you have been using Sonos. As you say, Sonos playlists are a bit of an odd beast. Tanks for your reply I suspect that many who request the export of playlists don’t have a clear idea of what they are asking for and how they would use it. While moving playlists between music services is possible via a couple of web sites, the Sonos playlists are locked to their Sonos household, which is why I created my app: to break them free. Playlists are confusing on Sonos (so many different things are called playlists), and folks often create large Sonos playlists before they realize they should have created a music service playlist instead (eg so they can play them in the car). If so, which system(s) are you planning to use this with? What format does it need to be in for the system to be able to use it? Or is it an electronic set of music service URLs and local filepaths (potentially many different services and storage locations). Is it just a text listing that you can manually recreate elsewhere? If so then that doesn’t seem a huge value-add. I am not clear what people are looking for from an exported playlist.

Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct. Yes, you would think a company like Sonos would have had such basic functionality implemented from launch. In summary: Sonos should be interested to add support for playlist exporting because they can’t grow their business if loyal customers won’t recommend their product. When someone asks if I recommend Sonos over Apple or Google or Alexa I won’t have an easy answer, because it depends - the hardware is reliable but if you’re the kind of person who loves to create playlists I have a warning - there is no way to export them and personally, I lost every playlist I ever created, every song I ever loved, every queue I ever saved, all of it. How does my lack of enthusiasm affect their business? In short, even though a customer (me) spent thousands of dollars on Sonos products in the past 4 years I can no longer enthusiastically recommend their product.

What Sonos needs is advocates, because that’s how they grow their business.

What Sonos wants is paying customers, because that’s how they make money.

How can me not using their free software have any measurable impact on their business?įor the sake of simplicity, I will answer like this:

Why would Sonos care if they make money selling hardware? The lesson I learned was don’t create Sonos playlists and don’t trust the Sonos app. List of empty Sonos Playlists from removed Google Play Music account Then, I removed my Google Play account from Sonos.Next, I signed up for Spotify and added it to Sonos.I also have playlists created on my Sonos but unfortunately they aren’t synced to Google and can’t be exported or shared.First, I went to Google Takeout and exported my playlists.Here’s how - switching from Google Play Music to Spotify If you’re satisfied with that answer feel free to stop here otherwise, read on for the real-world example that led me to this thread and learn How a seemingly insignificant feature impacts the long-term viability of a business Good question! TLDR Sonos would be interested in doing that because they want customers to mention their product when asked for a recommendation. Why would Sonos be interested in doing that?
