RE: Apple Music is coming to Sonos on December 15

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I am not using a paid Spotify subscription any more because it used to be very 
limited what one could do with Spotify on Sonos and the Deezer experience is 
much beter. Now of course there is Apple Music which as a beta tester I already 
can use now. I do know, however, that Sonos has upgraded the Spotify experience 
to add more functionality, just don’t know exactly what that is. Make sure when 
you Google this to check that what you read is no more than a few months old 
and you could always call Sonos to ask directly.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Hi, 

 

I am about to buy in to this eco-system. Research I have done tells me with 
spotify, you can play your playlists etc, but cannot play spotify radio, which 
is a bit of a bummer. 

 

Anyway, to my ears, I prefer Apple Music over Spotify because Apple music 
sounds better. Does anyone know, or if not can they comment on weather Apple 
music radio can be played through the spotify abb when the beta comes out? 

 

Many thanks, 

Brett.

Hi Sonos fans,

 

Thought I post the below article from 9to5Mac.com <http://9to5mac.com>  about 
the soon forthcoming addition of Apple Music to the already incredibly 
comprehensive list of supported music services on Sonos:

Apple Music streaming is coming to Sonos speakers on December 15th

Zac Hall - 6 days ago 

 

Sonos users rejoice: Apple Music support now has a date, December 15th. Sonos 
support for Apple Music fulfills a promise made by Apple in June to bring the 
subscription service to the connected speakers by the end of the year. Opening 
the Apple Music catalog for subscribers and free trial members brings a massive 
collection of content to Sonos speakers.

If you’re looking to jump into the Sonos ecosystem, 9to5Toys recently 
highlighted an excellent Play:1 Starter Set deal for $349, which includes two 
Sonos Play:1 units (reg. $199 each). Sonos also offers a medium-packaged Play:3 
($299) and a larger, all-new Play:5 ($499, previewed here).

 

The Sonos speakers already supported a huge library of streaming music services 
including Beats Music and Spotify as well as DRM-free local music on iPhones 
and Macs, but Apple Music has been unsupported. Trying to stream or playback a 
song from the subscription music service serves up a DRM error message, 
requiring line-in connections to work which eliminates wireless and multi-room 
playback. Starting with a public beta in a couple weeks, Sonos users will be 
able to stream anything from the Apple Music collection to single or multiple 
connected speakers simultaneously.

 

Sonos support is also notable because it brings Apple Music closer to feature 
parity with Beats Music, which it is based on and replaces. Apple already 
delivered on its promise to bring Apple Music to Android, albeit in beta, as a 
fall release.

 

Both moves show Apple is dedicated to bringing Apple Music to as many users as 
possible, although it has no plans to support Windows Phone like Beats Music 
did (for market-share reasons). Apple Music is also available on the fourth-gen 
Apple TV with Siri support in the works on the new set-top box and subscribers 
can download tracks locally to Apple Watch for wireless playback without 
iPhones.

 

Sonos recently released Trueplay, a feature for fine-tuning Sonos wireless 
speakers for their surroundings to offer the best sound for the room. Trueplay 
works with both PLAY:5 speakers as well as all PLAY:1 and PLAY:3 speakers.

 

Sonos customers interested in trying Apple Music on December 15th ahead of its 
general launch in 2016 can sign up here to participate. The release is timely 
as Beats Music shuts down today. Because Sonos provides a Controller app to 
manage streaming media sources from the cloud to its sources, the update will 
not require an iOS update like 9.2 as it will work through the Sonos app and 
not Apple’s Music app.

RE: Apple Music is coming to Sonos on December 15

[Merv Keck]

Hi,

I can’t understand why Apple is going to Sonos and Android before introducing  
their own service to Apple TV Third Generation. Not all of us are going to go 
out and buy the fourth gen right away. In fact some of us are not planning to 
buy it period as long as accessibility issues continue to exist. And there has 
not been an update to the Third Generation Apple TV in a very long time.

I use Apple Music for hours a day on my PC and iPhone. Mostly my iPhone when I 
walk five or six miles a day because it just does not drain the battery. And it 
really does have a fantastic selection of music. However, I would still love to 
see it show up on my Third Gen Apple TV.
