YouTube music radio

In the YouTube music app I can instantly create a radio station based on a song or a playlist. As far as I can tell this is not possible in the Sonos app with YouTube Music integration. Can we expect this feature at some point?

No, this is a feature for Google to add and they have shown precious little interest in improving their YTM SMAPI service so far.

Hi crimbo,

 

I've found this frustrating as well and would also love to have this feature implemented.

 

One workaround I've found is by using an Apple device which supports AirPlay 2 (most recent iPhones, iPads, macs, and even some Samsung TVs). You can select your supported Sonos speakers/rooms from the audio widget in the control centre and stream directly from the YouTube Music app/web on your Apple device.

 

Hope that's useful.
