Firstly - Awesome products (hardware and software) world leading and world beating, there is no other option for ease of use, reliability, flexibility and sound quality in my opinion.

Main point - I'm sure the development team are in deep at the moment with Apple and I'm aware that an integrated solution will be available in Q4-2015.

My idea or question is can it be integrated directly to AppleMusic App (Music on iPhone, iPad) so you don't need to launch the Sonos App.

Why do I ask? Well I fear that the personalisation and sheer richness of the AppleMusic service will be lost if it is integrated in a similar way to spotify on the Sonos App (menu driven etc.)

Also if I'm moving between car or walk into house the ability to seamlessly stream music to sonos to continue my listening experience would be, well 'magic'.

So if anyone has any influence over the development cycle and roadmap and this could be flagged as a potential it would be much appreciated.

      I had some bet issues over weekend. Only way I found to downgrade was one unit hooked to router. Let it downgrade. Then add in others wirelessly (still with single unit hooked to router so sonosnet- which of course I use) and as add each one it would prompt me to software update.

      I totally agree. While the Sonos app actually helped me learn how to use Apple Music when it was first released about one year ago, Apple Music has since added some very good functionality that is not available in the Sonos app. An update to allow a solution like Spotify for Apple Music would be greatly appreciated. Too reasons why to list. (I.e. Add music to library, love / dislike music, favorite and new music playlists, etc).

      Good Day,

      Has there been any progress to integrate sonos directly to AppleMusic App (Music on iPhone, iPad) so you don't need to launch the Sonos App.
      The ability to use this would add huge value to the customer experience level for many reasons such as; curated Music, Siri integration etc.

      I understand it is it currently able to be done with Spotify so I am hoping in the near future it can. One of the great features of Apple Music is the ability to ask Siri to play a specific song without having to lift a finger. Sonos are amazing products and hardware and Apple Music service with its feature are equally impressive. However without having the option to control sonos from within the Apple Music App restricts the level of experience awesomeness      [quote=TechnoTys]Good Day,

      That is up to Apple. Sonos now has the capability, time for Apple to get on board and work with Sonos.
