As of today 8th October. Can’t see Sonos confirming a date until they release so they don’t miss deadline. “Seems like Sonos will support Spotify Lossless in the future, but no further details or timelines are currently available”.

After Sonos came close to losing all support with that new app, you’d think they’d seize every opportunity to overdeliver — like rolling out a Spotify lossless solution at lightning speed. Or at least communicating about it. Not. Not. The only thing we know is that Spotify themselves claim their lossless solution will work with Sonos in October. That promise can only have been made if Sonos told Spotify they’d be upgrading on their end during October. I take it for granted that Spotify is telling the truth, so I’d say it’s about time Sonos passed that message on to… us :)

Sonos don’t need to upgrade anything. Spotify need to update their SMAPI server and do some testing. When done, they click on the button to submit the updated service metadata to Sonos.

That’s a new one - great if no Sonos updates are needed (and can go wrong). No matter what is true Sonos should communicate something. It shouldn’t take long to clarify … no matter where this is pending.

In the Reddit thread on the latest update a Sonos employee says lossless is coming soon:

That gives me the impression that a Sonos update is needed, at least for the player.
