airsonos - yes you can stream directly from spotify/Apple music app

For those who would like to stream directly from their native streaming service (Apple music, spotify) iOS app to Sonos, check out Airsonos (just google and you will find instructions how to install this free software on your computer). This will allow you to use the superior native apps discovery and playlist functionality and effectively bypass the feature lacking sonos app interface. One day I would love to see this functionality be integrated into the sonos speaker software... Works like a treat, but note that you must have your computer running in the background so the airsonos software can perform the bridging between your iPad and the sonos speakers (via AirPlay iPad functionality)

    I have not tried - but others have said AirSonos can run on a Raspberry Pi - alleviating the dedicated desktop computer need.

    By the way airsonos does unfortunately not work with beta ios9 on iPad . Can't be bothered to roll back my iPad to iOS 8, so unfortunately missing out on the airsonos capability for now...

    Just installed AirSonons on my raspberry pi. Works great with iOS 10 on all my devices.
