Good evening everyone,
given that Symfonisk can use music library in a NAD, could it be possible that the system could detect cloud Services?
I have all my library on Mega (it could be BOX, or DROPBOX of course) and I would love to Listen to it through my sonos speakers.
Could this be possible?
thank you very much

Sonos supports smb network access. For Sonos S2 you will need at least smb2.
There are a few cloud services that support SMB/CIFS-access. Sometimes it’s included and sometimes you can get it as a paid option. So it depends on your cloud storage provider and you will have to ask them if they support this service.

So far, despite years of requests for this type of access, no cloud based service has stepped up and implemented the SMAPI (Sonos Music Application Programming Interface).
Ok. This is the answer. Thank you. It is really a pity.
I will not buy further Symfonisk hardware for this reason.
+18Sorry, maybe I did get it wrong, but I thought the intention just was to connect a cloud service as the network path for a Sonos music library smb share. And that indeed worked in the past. But to be fair just with a hand full of services. „Strato drive“ here in Germany is one of them.
If you like to access your own cloud stored music files directly via Sonos api and control playback via Sonos app there is the service „iBroadcast“ that can be connected to Sonos from the list of available services in the Sonos app.
You can upload your own music files there. The service can be used for free or paid with additional functionality and better sound quality.
Hi Ralf and thank you very much for this reply.
So I understand that, via the iBroadcast cloud service, my Library could be used/read by Sonos, But the condition is that I put there my files, so I should remove them from Mega (or duplicate) and insert them there, right?
+18Exactly… I did it myself, because with YouTube Music there are some problems playing your own files on Sonos. Using iBroadcast works well imo.
