How to add Apple Music playlists to Sonos Favorites for Control4 and more

A few years back Sonos stripped back the API options available to third-party controllers such as Control4, Crestron and a few others, making the process of controlling your Sonos speakers on your smart home touchscreens a lot more hassle than it really needs to be.

As it stands now, you’ll need to make use of painful work arounds involving AirPlay, Spotify Connect and the like; or get your ‘My Sonos’ playlists in order.

My Sonos, which is often referred to as Sonos Favorites in third-party integrations like Control4, is a simple(ish) way to access the songs, artists, albums and playlists that you want quick access to from outside the Sonos app.

Below, we’ll talk you through how to add your Apple Music playlists to My Sonos / Sonos Favorites – the same method can be used for artists, albums and individual songs too:

Here’s how to get access to your Apple Music playlists and favorite artists and albums using the My Sonos option.

You’re all set and you will now see the playlist sync to your Sonos Favorites on your Control4 touchscreen.
