Find music

2. Open a result to browse the contents the provider permits.
3. Choose Play and select a room or speaker when asked. On the phone, the prompt is Choose a room to play this in.Play

Provider differences

• Spotify playback needs a Sonos speaker with the appropriate Spotify account.
• Some Spotify playlist contents require a local Sonos connection. When contents are unavailable, the separate Play action may still start the playlist from the beginning.
• Do not expect artist radios or top tracks here.
• Plex is a local music library. A hosted home cannot reach a private Plex server through the hub yet.
• Local Sonos can expose saved playlists, local albums, and current room queues. Cloud Sonos does not expose the same playlist contents.

If something goes wrong

Could not reach the music library is a read error, not an empty library. That did not go through is not playback confirmation. Retry the read or review the integration connection. A provider restriction cannot be fixed by choosing an unrelated home’s speaker. Artwork and catalog counts alone do not prove playback.
