Connecting to Audible

I received my first Sonos product over the holidays, and am LOVING it. As I was connecting all of my digital streaming services, I was surprised not to be able to find anything to connect my Audible account, and couldn't find a generic input where I could bootstrap it in. Am I missing something? Have others successfully found a way to troubleshoot this? Thanks.

      Actually in recent announcements they have said its coming soon. I would personally expect to see full audible support coming in the next month (this quarter at maximum).

      From all postings and marketing from Sonos their priorities right now seem to be:
      1. App navigation and styling improvements
      2. Google Home integration
      3. Audible
      4. Airplay2
      5. Continued improvements Sonos One and Alexa integration

      Unfortunately, you cannot connect Audible to Sonos, except through line-in on a Play 5, which is archaic. Sonos says they are working on this, but I have seen no evidence of them "working" on it.

        If you have a Play:5 or Connect you could use line-in. But as V12 says; you can't connect your Audible account to Sonos at this time.

        I'd agree with Chris. It's specifically mentioned in the "thanks for buying a Sonos One" email, so it's got to be on deck to be fairly soon.

          Is there any update or movement? Apple is coming out with the homepod and it's going to work with any audio via airplay from my devices. IS there any updates on audible support via alexa on sonos one? Any updates on getting airplay? If so, I want to keep my sonos. BUT if no updates I'll just dump sonos and go with Apple. Even if there was a launch date in April or May that was firm I would wait. But this wait and see sucks. We're not getting firm answers. It's been from "next year" to "maybe next month" and now "might be february 2018". You can do better Sonos. Get a firm handle on your action plan and communicate it out to the users!

            Haha! Marking that date on my calendar. Interesting that’s the date Apple’s HomePod will be in stores. 😛

            I’m curious of how the HomePod reviews come out as thy are releasing it withbmany features missing. Making it no more than glorified airplay speaker at this point.
