This sucks that I cannot log into my Tunein premium service! Now I have to listen to adds each time I want to listen to a radio station. Get with it sonos, your system sucks. Looking for a new home audio system. Sonos is not a user friendly product!

Sorry but I don’t understand the OP. When you use the TuneIn option on the Browse menu on Sonos, TuneIn acts merely as a URL lookup service; Sonos fetches the URL directly from the station, not using the TuneIn service.

@goeatwhatever - the only ads you should hear are those on the station’s own stream, which are surely there in whichever way you access the content? There should be no ads from the TuneIn service itself. Which ads are you talking about?

I have been using the ‘TuneIn’ audio source to listen to radio on Sonos for 10 years. I have no TuneIn account (neither free nor paid) and I am yet to hear a TuneIn ad. The problem with taking an aggressive tone in a rant is that there is always a risk that one turns out to have been totally mistaken.

Depending on what type of controller devices and speakers you have, you may be able to log into your paid TuneIn subscription on a mobile device and use Airplay or Bluetooth to play to your speakers.

Which other audio system are you planning to switch to?

Not sure why but I get ads when I pull up any radio station through Tunein on Sonos before the chosen radio station starts, they are not the radio stations ads but seem to be coming from Tunein.

Tunein did reply to my question about using subscription service and ads on Sonos:

Hello Jim,

Thank you for contacting TuneIn Support.

We apologize for the inconvenience. We would like to let you know that, TuneIn Premium subscription service is currently only available on tunein.com, and on our iOS, Windows 10, and Android apps. We plan to extend this to more devices in the future. Currently a workaround to get Premium streams to your non-Premium supported device/platform is to cast using Chromecast, or stream via Bluetooth or Aux cable from your mobile TuneIn app. Sonos doesn't support login feature.

Please let us know if you have any other questions. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Best regards,
Isaac

I think they missed AirPlay 2 as well, assuming you have an iOS device. I used to log in to the TuneIn app, and use AirPlay 2 to send a signal to a Sonos One….but TuneIn stopped broadcasting the baseball games, so I’ve gone with iHeart radio, which does carry them. Licensing issues, I’d guess, and not a particular fault of Tunein, other than they didn’t choose to pay what I assume is an exorbitant fee to MLB.
