Quick Sonos question

[ben5575]

Daft laddy question for you.

Is there a simple way of playing a whole album/playlist but starting several tracks in? I can select the track and it'll play just the track and stop. I can 'play all' of the album/playlist, but if I want to start partway through, then I need to use 'play all' then the ->| button to manually change from track to track until I get to the correct one. OK, on a 10 track album, not too much of a problem , but on a large playlist it is a right PITA.

I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious, but is there an option/button somewhere that allows the playlist to continue playing after a song is selected rather than just stopping?

Any help here, belive you need to pres the Repeat button?

I don't think that does what the OP is after - those modes affect the music queue, but tracks have to get into the queue first. The OP wants to be able to put all tracks from a certain point in an album into the queue.

I'd love to know if there's a way, because it annoys me as well!

I may be missunderstanding the question, but you just add the album to the queue and then touch the track in the list where you want it to start playing.

Ah right, yes that does work. Just seems a little clunky rather than simply finding the album and playing it. Better than ->|'ing through it

If I understand the question correctly this is the answer

I think what the OP is saying is that he's doing this, but having clicked on track number 8 of a 12 track album, it's plays track 8 and then stops and seems the only way to do this is to play the album/playlist and press the next track button until you get to track 8 and only then will it move on to track 9 onwards

You don't need repeat or random selected. It should simply play the next track until it gets to the end of the queue.
Is the album being added to the queue?

[ben5575]

Autopilot - yes this is the problem.

Napper, no I am not. I have been finding the album/playlist (right hand pane) clicking track and it is playing just that track.

RDJohn's solution of finding the album/playlist in the right hand pane as above, but then moving it all to the queue, then selecting track 8 from the queue does then play all of the subsequent songs.

It just seems a bit of a faff to have to move it to the queue before selecting the track, rather than just selecting the track, it's an extra step. Maybe that's just how it's designed to work and I need to get used to it.

To play more than one track automatically yes you have to create a queue of tracks and add to, edit the queue.

First world problems.
add them one at a time, add albumn and delete unwanted onees from the queue, or skip tracks.

I've only ever used sonos that way. Didn't occur to me that there was another way
