xml format, but it isn’t apparent how to then import these files into the S2 app/player.(The code on this page was last checked and verified in June 2014.) I also need to split my own system so I can actually test this feature.Ĭontrolav, I downloaded your app and can export each of my S1 playlists in either text form or. If the playlist is of music service content then there may be additional work required, even assuming you have have the same service on both systems.

If the playlist is of local content then it should transfer trivially (assuming the same Library config on both systems).
SONOS PLAYLIST EXPORT MAC
My Mac Mini just died, but once the new one arrives (sigh) I can start work on importing the xml file. You can use the txt/csv file to manually re-enter them into anything (painful), or a web service such as soundiiz to convert them into various music service formats. Once exported, what can be done with the data? Any chance to import back anything, or using other s/w convert the playlist to a standard format playlist? Pretty sad that Sonos have ignored anything to do with playlist management all these years, and especially with this major transition from legacy to ‘new’. The music library will not change during this migration. The devices will be reset to new and loose everything during the conversion to S2. When I end up splitting my Sonos into a S1 and S2 setup I want to be able to import the playlists back into the ‘new’ S1 setup. I think outputting the playlist to a csv file will allow me to then work with that to create a m3u playlist. Hope this helps others dealing with playlists. Once again, Sonos should be providing some kind of playlist managment and security for this functionality. Others may have found an easier way than this. So, this will help me if and when I move from S1 to S2. I assume references to Spotify or other streaming services will not work, but I could be wrong. All my playlists are referencing my music stored locally. If you make changes to your library after you produce the text file, there may be errors of some music files in the final playlist produced.
SONOS PLAYLIST EXPORT PLUS
Note, as long as the text file produced by Phonos Plus matches exactly your music library structure it should have no errors. I had to change the default for mine in the program. You may need to make a change in Creator Playlist to match your playlist structure. The other thing to pay attention to is the order of your playlist structure, for example, mine is built with title, album, artist. The absolute addressing worked best for me because I have all my music on a 256gig USB thumb drive installed in a Vero4K (a version of Raspberry Pi).

The Creator Playlist pgm has the option to create the playlists with absolute or relative file name location info. All my tag info in the music files worked fine.
SONOS PLAYLIST EXPORT UPDATE
Update your Sonos music library and presto the playlists are listed in the Sonos playlist folder and can be loaded into queues for playing. I then used the Windows based Playlist Creator pgm (free) to create a M3u playlist file with the output location in the Sonos Playlist-1 folder at the top of my Music folder library. An xml format is supported, but I didn’t need to go that way, thank God. The Phonos Plus app output a text file of all my Sonos playlists. My son assisted with the Apple part of this, I don’t use any Apple products any more. As suggested above, I used the Apple Phonos Plus app (free) developed by controlav, thanks a lot for it. Goods news, exporting Sonos playlists and importing them back works, with the help of 2 other pgms.
