Apple Music subscribers will soon be able to queue up songs from Apple Inc.’s catalog to wireless speaker systems from Sonos Inc. When the public beta launches on Dec. 15, it will mark the first time Apple pairs with an outside hardware maker on deep integration of its music streaming service, according to WSJ
Everyone using a Sonos speaker will be able to take part in the beta program offered they subscribe to Apple Music (which offers three-month free trials). Like any other Sonos-compatible music service—Spotify, Tidal, Pandora and Google Play, for instance—you send songs from Apple Music to one or more speakers using the Sonos app itself, on iOS, Android, Macs or PCs.
The defining features of Apple Music will all be available in the Sonos app, counting human-curated “For You” playlists that are suggested based on your listening habits, Apple’s Beats 1 radio station, and “My Music” which is a library of songs made up of each particular user’s iTunes purchases plus favorite streaming albums and singles, Sonos said in a statement.
The two companies have been working on bringing Apple Music to Sonos speakers since Apple Music was first introduced, back in June. The partnership is unique for Apple in that Sonos speakers access the Internet to pull songs directly from a music service’s servers. Songs aren’t simply streamed via the phone, tablet or PC. The Sonos app is just a controller, letting you tee up what’s next.WSJ Report
Apple Music will arrive on Sonos as a beta. Those interested can sign up for the beta in their Sonos mobile app by following these steps:
- Open the Sonos app
- Tap Settings then Advanced Settings
- Tap Beta Program
- Tap Join the Beta Program
At last check, Apple boasted 6.5 million paying Apple Music subscribers and while some them may have been Sonos system owners, none of them could actually play Apple Music wirelessly on their Sonos speaker systems.
