Sonos access to OneDrive Music Folder

I revised things recently when my old computer died, which we used as a local server, including a Music folder that we accessed via SONOS. When we got a new computer, we canned the server idea and placed all our files, including our music folder, onto Microsoft OneDrive. Is it possible to stream from OneDrive? What about some other online repository? Or must it be local?

Recently ran into this myself and put together a small app to connect Sonos to OneDrive directly.

Got Michael Dick’s solution working. One Drive is huge and it’s ridiculous Sonos does not support it natively. Silly hoops and hurdles nonetheless super pleased Michael made a solution. I’m going to send him a few bucks.

Its up to Microsoft to do that, not Sonos, and they turned this off when they killed Groove, their music service. No music service, no legal rights to stream.

Got it. I’ll blame Microsoft then. :) Thank you. It’s ridiculous that the powers that be make it difficult to play your own music that you’ve already paid for. Playing a song on Sonos from your One Drive should be a simple and normal thing they’d want to accommodate considering I’m paying them a monthly free and I’m assuming they’re prefer I keep doing that.

You would think it is simple, but it is very much the opposite. Streaming music, from OneDrive or anywhere else, is a legal nightmare. Technically it i easy enough, and you have found someone who has done that for you. However it is technically against the OneDrive Terms of Service and likely contradicts copyright law in your country.

You mean it isn’t ‘just a few lines of code’?

The code is the easy bit :-)

It seems you have to grant access from the OneDrive for Sonos App to your OneDrive, I assume that allows read access for all files on your OneDrive, not just music files?

This was, in a word, money. Thanks for taking the time to code this...
