Details

As with the root playlists node, a playlist (a mediaCollection object) must have specific attributes that enable playlist editing features in Sonos firmware. Specifically, it must have readOnly=false to enable removeFromContainer functionality. For example:

<mediaCollection readOnly="false" userContent="false" renameable="true">
   <id>playlist-001</id>
   <itemType>playlist</itemType>
   <title>My Playlist</title>
   <canScroll>false</canScroll>
   <canPlay>true</canPlay>
   <canEnumerate>true</canEnumerate>
   <albumArtURI>http://icons.com/playlist-icon.png</albumArtURI>
</mediaCollection>
