I know it’s down to myTuner and the stupid court decision that we cannot access radio stations from abroad anymore. 

But please add a way that one can play these radio stations through Sonos. Else the whole system is useless for me and many others.

Maybe someone who is willing to create a tunein account just to store a url and name will report back. Having to create an account with an external service I don’t use or need, when previously it was linked behind the scenes without an account, just added to my ever increasing friction list for Sonos.

Why Sonos didn’t just make it part of the supplier contract with Deezer that custom stations could be added to Sonos Radio when they switched from Napster to Deezer as the Sonos Radio service supplier or store them in the Sonos cloud platform but chose instead to continuing using tunein seems a little ridiculous.

The occasions where I do want to test or try things on the few remaining Sonos speakers I have, I just avoid the Sonos inflicted nonsense when it rears its head and airplay to them. My main multiroom system uses airable who haven’t messed up their distribution agreements yet so don’t have any issues providing access to international stations.
