Can you please give an update when Spotify will be available through the Alexa / Sonos setup. I’d like to get an alexa dot for my daughter’s birthday by way of controlling her Sonos speaker. “Soon” is not a very specific answer, would be grateful if you can elaborate on ETA please.

You are not going to get any more from Sonos on that front than they have already stated. My advice would be to buy it or not on the basis of it's current functionality rather than what you hope it may do in the future.

whilst most would think of 'holidays' as the christmas holiday period I guess they could also mean next summer 😉

Thanksgiving? Christmas? Easter? Tomb Sweeping? Diwali?

Who knows but I'm amazed Sonos have allowed themselves to be sucked into providing brick bats to be used against them in the future!!

The same company that said early 2017 for original integration....

Except they didn't.

From the official Sonos press release:

These new voice capabilities will be delivered in a software update that will work with new and previously purchased Sonos and Alexa-enabled devices such as Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Tap, and Amazon Fire TV. The companies will begin rolling out the experience through an invite-only beta test later this year, with general availability in 2017.
