I have ~300 vinyl records which I want to attach RFID tags to so I can place one on an RFID reader and trigger playback of the album on my home Sonos (using Google Play Music).

Is there a way to load a specified resource from a service into a group? I was able to follow through the Postman tutorial, and was maybe thinking that I could set up each album as a Sonos Favorite and load that, but I'm looking around and see that there is a (very low) limit on how many favorites you can have, so this doesn't seem like a workable solution anymore. I've been digging around the APIs and can't quite find what I'm looking for in the Control API.

Ideally I'd have each RFID tag contain something along the lines of artist name, album name, and some Google-Play-Music-specific album ID, which I can use to load the album into a fixed Sonos Group queue. If there's a better approach, however, I'm also all ears.

The Sonos API doesn't offer a way to load and play content from another service (other than commands in the favorites namespace) unless that service provides an interface to get the Sonos IDs without authentication. An alternative is to host your own files and build a SMAPI server or use a mediaUrl to your audio file in the track.

See the SMAPI sample server and Tracks in the cloud queue in Play audio (cloud queue) for details.
