Spotify and Sonos

How do people generally interact with Spotify and the Sonos App? I’m keen to use the Sonos app as I like the user interface but the biggest issue for me is that it doesn’t have an offline mode in the way Spotify does. So if I start to create all my playlist in the Sonos app using Spotify subscription, but then leave home and want to listen on headphones (without connection) I’d have to go back to Spotify direct which won’t have my saved playlist. This keeps me using Spotify and just using the connect feature to put music to my speakers, but I’d imagine Sonos want to address this. It would also be a reason I would be reluctant to buy any future Sonos headphones. How would you use it on a plane for instance?

I use the Spotify app to make playlists, that I can access through the Sonos app. This way my playlists are the same everywhere.

@Londonbound see how music continues to play once sent to the target speakers even when the phone is turned off.

@Londonbound In the Sonos app go to the musical note. Then go to Spotify, scroll down and you should see your Spotify playlists.

@Londonbound there is no relevant to sound quality tech in the apps. In both cases, music is being sourced by the Sonos unit from Spotify servers.

I thought playing through either Spotify or Amazon App was worse sound quality because you use Airplay 2 vs. using those same services through SONOS app.
