New to Sonos or Alexa? How to set up

When will Apple Music be supported? It's one of the largest music sites and libraries available. Also, how can you play from personal music library (fed by my iTunes library on Sonos)

You can already use Alexa to control what's playing on Sonos from any source, the only thing that can't be done with the non-Alexa services is starting playback. We'll add your request for Apple Music to the team, but there isn't a timeline or roadmap on that one. Thanks for asking!

This is a heads up post: I installed the new Sonos one yesterday but was unable to get the voice control working. I had previously used my phone to link the Sonos and Alexa accounts and was able to play music using voice control on my echo. When I got the Sonos One working I could not figure out how to get voice control working. I was using the Sonos app on my laptop because it's easier than the phone. I searched and read but was getting more and more frustrated when I noticed that every web page of instructions showed a phone. So I turned on the Sonos app on my phone and there were two red menu items: one for linking music and one for voice controls. In about 30 seconds Alex spoke from the Sonos One and I was able to use voice control.

Please tell me if I missed something in the Windows app or did Sonos just make a major screw up by not specifying that YOU MUST USE YOUR PHONE to activate voice controls. If the Windows app doesn't contain the requisite menu items it should be clearly indicated.

Absolutely shocking setup. The Sonos username/ password screen keeps reloading whilst inputting, it took me over 50 tries before I could submit. I hope iits going to be worth it....already disappointed that my music library isn't accessible to Alexandra- change request please

Amazon has just released the Alexa app and Echo devices in India and right off the bat there is a problem: Sonos Skills aren't in the list of skills.

The strange thing though is that in Music & Books in the Alexa app, tapping that shows the available music services under Music, Sonos under Speakers and Kindle under Books. The problem is that then tapping on Sonos - present in the correct font, so it is Sonos for sure - opens that All Skills page, where the search window does not return any skills for Sonos.

Probably a starting bug, but in any case, something to talk to Amazon about?

Hey Kumar, since the Sonos skill isn't available in India I wouldn't really expect it to show up, but I'll check in and share what you're seeing with the right teams to see if there's some behavior that isn't expected. Thanks for sharing!

Ryan, it would be more useful to know when the Skill will be available and even more for it to be made available asap. I don't recall Sonos saying at any time in the last 12 months that there would be cases like this - where Echo/Alexa is available in countries via official Amazon release, but integration with Sonos would still be missing.

There is a world outside US/UK/Germany.

I have also taken up the Sonos invitation to email direct to senior management including the CEO; can't go higher than that! Hopefully this will get addressed, sooner rather than later.

A question: if two Dots are registered in one home to two Amazon accounts and Prime subscriptions, to get two streams from Prime to play at the same time, will both devices be able to control/command one Sonos system installed across the home?

I'm looking into this one a bit more in depth for you, Kumar. But in short, it's not intended as the integration is designed for one Amazon account per each Sonos account. However, it looks like this does work, assuming you have both Prime accounts added to your Sonos system. This isn't an intended use, so I can't speak to if it'll work flawlessly or how long it might function.

Good question!
