Hi - I’m Dan and I run Astiga, which is a streaming service for your own music. We recently shipped a new service into the Sonos platform which might be useful for anyone who wants to play their own, owned, music.

Astiga streams your music library from cloud storage. This might mean streaming from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox or the like, or streaming from your own storage self-stored on a NAS at home, or hosted somewhere. We support most of the big services plus some standards like WebDAV and SFTP (and de facto standards like S3) for the rest.

This means, when you add Astiga to your Sonos network, you can stream a music library from Google Drive (say) to your Sonos speakers. Astiga takes care of all the streaming and library management. In addition to streaming through Sonos, you can access Astiga directly and sync your devices with Astiga for offline mobile playback, and much more.

Astiga streams in native quality - whatever is in your storage is what gets streamed. We also offer podcasting and playlisting when used direct but this isn’t exposed to Sonos just yet.

Astiga is a commercial service. When you sign up you get seven days free but after that you must sign up for a “Premium” account, currently $4.99/month (GBP and EUR also accepted and discounts available for yearly subs).

Adding Astiga to Sonos

First, sign up to Astiga. Once you’re logged in, connect to a storage service and make sure to Save storage at the end.

Go to the Astiga apps page and make a note of your Token (hover over the blurred text to see it; you need this to log in via Sonos):

From your controller, add a music service. Choose Astiga. Specify your Astiga email address and the token above.

Once you’re authenticated, go back to the Sonos app and you should be able to browse your library…

Let us know how you get on, and what improvements you’d like to see to the Sonos/Astiga service!
