Will there be any other Sonos One updates with the Spotify release on December 21st? Or will it be strictly focused on Spotify? Just curious if any other new Alexa functions will be added.

New functions can be added all the time, and since Alexa is cloud-based, it doesn't always require an update on your end.

Spotify was ready early, and we've just announced that Spotify for Alexa on Sonos is now ready to go and currently available.

We'll keep on adding to and improving Alexa on Sonos, so make sure you give a shout out if there's a particular feature you'd like to see added one day.

Thanks Ryan. Is there a reference on configuring Spotify somewhere?

Hmmm ... really? Doesn't work on my system. Alexa app shows Sonos speaker as device, Selecting this device and going to the Spotify choice in Music, Video,Books returns App Support Unavailable. Asking 'Play my XX playlist on Sonos 2' returns 'I cannot find anything named Sonos ..' or something close.

Spotify is default. Tunein stations play okay.

Have you tried discovering devices, castalla? (Sometimes that's needed to confirm the default music service).

If that doesn't do the trick, can you submit a diagnostic from your Sonos system and post your confirmation number?

That diagnostic came through corrupted, so this could just be an issue caused by some network trouble. Could you try rebooting all of your Sonos devices and when they're back up give this another test, and diagnostic if it fails?

Thanks, that one went through just fine.

Can you double check that the Spotify credentials you have in your Sonos system are also the same ones added to your Alexa app? Both systems need to be using the same account.
