FULL spotify integration (and other 3rd parties)

Now while its great to see that Spotify radio is going to make it into the Controller app, having used Spotify for a few weeks now on my Sonos system i think Sonos need to go a step further. In effect i think that the spotify app, for ipad for instance needs full integration into the Sonos system (as it does for Napseter etc) What ive found annoying to date is that if im playing a tune on my Sonos system that i like, i then have to go to the Spotify app, search, and find that tune, then click on the star button for example so that its added to my Sonos Controller. That kind of functionality should be included by default.

      iOS will be available when version 5.4 is released, but we don't run public betas for iOS devices.

      Are you getting a specific error message? You might need to re-authenticate your Spotify credentials on Sonos. If you have any further trouble or just some notes we'd love to get your feedback through the beta form here.

      That option won't be available on your iOS devices as there isn't a beta version of that controller. Mis-matched controllers have limited access to the settings of devices on different versions. You can authenticate from any Android, Windows PC or Mac controller.

      Hi Ryan,

      This is very good news and just in time as I was about to return my entire system because of no progress and no response from Sonos for a long time. 
      This is a good start to make Spotify properly integrated, however I'm still missing the option to browse "Your Music" based on Albums and of course Artists.

      This is great news! - Thanks for listening!
      I have one question though: Will it be possible to shuffle-play an artist (or just simply to choose an artist and then push the play button to listen to the entire artist-catalogue) without having to make a playlist? This is one of the features, that I really miss when using spotify within the sonos software...
