Hey everyone,
With the new app update im working if it's now possible to “Play all” music from a specific artist in Apple Music. On the standard Apple Music app, there is a play button when you go to an artist and it will play all the artist music. In the Sonos app, it only pulls up albums and then you have to choose an album. Is this a Sonos thing that can be updated in the future or is this an Apple Music thing?
Hi
Welcome to the Sonos Community! And, apologies for the delay.
I was about to reply “Yes - it is possible” as I had searched for Foo Fighters within Apple Music and when I tapped on the main result, there was a play button:
However, once the first Foo Fighters track had finished, Guns ‘n’ Roses started playing, so it doesn’t count.
When browsing artists rather than searching them, I don’t see any option to play “Artist Radio” (which I do see with Youtube Music), even on the 3-dot menus.
As music services are responsible for writing their own “plug-ins” to Sonos, I think this will be on Apple to resolve, but we can certainly flag it with them - I’ll report the issue now.
In the meantime, I see you have AirPlay compatible Sonos devices - you could use the Apple Music app and AirPlay to play a single artist to Sonos. I recommend only AirPlaying to one Sonos device and grouping speakers within the Sonos app rather than sending one AirPlay stream to multiple destinations, should that be your wish.
Thanks for flagging, and I hope this helps.
Thanks
