Hi there,

Is there a way as an app developer to connect to the Sonos library that connects to Spotify, Pandora etc?  In some sense it would be an overlay to the actual Sonos app that does nothing more than connect to the various music services available through the Sonos app.  If the answer is "no", what would be the process to formally request this or introduce the concept for consideration by Sonos?  Thank you.

For metadata, use SMAPI. See developer.sonos.com

For actual music streaming, most music services will block direct playback from things that are not actualSonos players, for obvious reasons.
