    Any device that can play Spotify has the hardware necessary to implement this feature. So this is a software feature that Sonos can implement any time they'd like. It's hard to figure why wouldn't implement a feature that helps keep customers on their ecosystem everywhere they play music.

    As a guess, because such a feature wouldn't sell as many new speakers as other features that they're working on implementing?

    Question: How many Sonos devices do you think they would sell if you could duplicate their hardware using a cheap Raspberry Pi PC?

    Answer: See Squeezebox.
