Lack of Spotify Connect is becoming a deal breaker for further Sonos investment. Even with recent updates, the Sonos interface to Spotify is primitive. Sonos needs to get over themselves and make this happen.

Sonos, you are not there alone anymore, in the world of wireless music.

Please add the possibility to play from Spotify connect

From my point of view it is really frustrating to use Spotify with Sonos. Not only that my Spotify playlists almost never are displayed correctly in the Sonos App, the Sonos App lacks almost all cool discovery features. I thought Sonos sells hardware and not software so why not integrating Spotify Connect ? But more frustrating than anything else is the way Sonos communicates with their customers. No communication. Offering Ask Sonos but no details about plans so far. Yeah go ahead this way. I have absolutely no problem with selling my Sonos speakers and replacing them with an other solution. I already quit recommending Sonos to friends and family month ago.

I'm pretty sure the 'Not Planned" status on this thread fully communicates Sonos' "plans so far" for this feature.  I'm not sure how much more detail you wish beyond "We are not planning to support Spotify Connect".

Hi everyone, we appreciate the request for an update to the thread, it’s been too long since our last post here.  

As everyone following this conversation already knows, the decision has been made not to implement Spotify Connect. Like many such decisions, it’s complex, and we don’t want to go into the details.  To put it simply, we don’t see Spotify Connect as the right solution for Sonos at this time.

If you’re new to Sonos, you might not be aware that Spotify was launched on Sonos in 2010, and at the time was the first home hardware partnership for Spotify.  We’re focusing our efforts on this existing integration, and began with improvements to stability under high usage following the holiday outages.  

Our vision is to bring the Spotify-Sonos experience much closer to the experience you have when using the native Spotify app.  It’s going to take time, but work is in progress by both partners.  We’ll keep you posted.

This is good to hear. Lack of Spotify Radio and other ease of use features in the Spotify app is certainly something that needs to be remedied. While you are at, please add Amazon Prime support to the Amazon Music service on Sonos.

John - thanks for the update.  Making the best features of Spotify available on Sonos is the goal (Radio, Your Music, all Playlists..).  How you acheive that, I dont mind - via Spotify Connect or via the Sonos app.

Dong get suckered Into thinking Sonos will get anywhere near to the native app. If the Sonos vision is to "bring the Sonos - Spotify experience closer to... the native Spotify app" then they could simply implement Spotify Connect and immediately achieve this, saving themselves - and their customers - protracted frustration. I'm guessing that commercial politics and pride are the obstacles., so I'm not surprised they don't want to talk about it any more. Now, Sonos, how's that implementation of Spotify's Your Music and Radio functionality that was released a couple of years ago coming on?.... I'm learning to live with Sonos and its foibles. When these are out of mind - and ears - I truly appreciate the sound Sonos provides and the flexibility of its wireless setup. I lash out in these forums as much as the most disgruntled customer but I can't see me exchanging them just yet. I want more but expect nothing else to come so far as Spotify is concerned. I'm resigned to using two apps with limited integration, and try to focus on the music. My vision is to achieve a zen-like state where I am no longer frustrated with the clearly soured Sonos - Spotify relationship!
