    Delay - Apple not allowing is the delay. Apple currently not supporting outside devices other than AirPlay. Add AirPlay to your Sonos system if have immediate need.

    Thanks Chris,  I'm not spending £79 on an Airport Express to reward their isolationist approach lol!  They caved in to Office software eventually.  If they don't make Apple Music compatible I shall stay with Napster too.

    Not a huge Apple fan myself. Although I caved and went iPhone years ago and then the Apple watch. I do have Airsonos setup if I ever have a need (I never use it) but it is a free option. I'm using deezer and my son keeps rhapsody so I have no intention of going Apple music (plus I really dislike iTunes).

    I've installed airsonos on a raspberry pi and use AirPlay for ITunes stuff. Works on the native Apple watch music app including Siri. I'm assuming that apple music will also work using this method. Would prefer an official app though.

    Yes everyone, if you're looking for support for Apple Music then we need to petition Apple. Thread can be found here: https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/apple-support-apple-music-on-sonos
