Hey all,

This might be old news for some, but I’m happy to confirm that this issue has been resolved. :smile:

You should now be able to add your Apple Music accounts from an Android device to Sonos once again.

If anyone is still experiencing issues, please make sure you’ve fully updated both Sonos and Apple Music apps before attempting to add the account to Sonos.

If you still have issues, please get in touch with our customer care team.

I think we all agree, this is indeed super annoying, and want Apple to fix their issue as quickly as possible. It is unfortunate they don’t maintain a presence on the Sonos forums.

The last answer here was 12 days ago. Are you able to escalate this. I only use Apple Music, and my expensive Sonos speaker system is now completely unusable (I do not have access to an iOS device)

How is this ok?

Agree 100% it used to work and now I'm paying for apple music but nothing to play it on.

The plan is to wait until Apple fixes their app so it can be used to authenticate the account for use by Sonos.

Ok, I’ve given up. I’ve cancelled Apple Music for my household and subscribed to Spotify - it just works… for now.

I honestly don’t see myself purchasing any more Sonos speakers in future given the lack of responsiveness - this is not how you treat your customers.

Surely it should be “this is not how Apple should treat its customers”. It’s their app which evidently needs attention.

Why is it always Sonos that gets the blame for their partners’ shortcomings?

I would expect there is a business relationship here; both parties are responsible IMO. Sonos speakers are advertised as having Apple Music support (and continue to do so), even though it is horribly broken.

Anyway, it seems Spotify is better supported anyway (i.e. you can play music on the speakers directly from the Spotify app, which is super nice), so I’m happy :)

So let’s get this straight - Spotify works fine with Sonos on Android. Apple Music doesn’t work with Sonos on Android. And your response is to refuse to purchase Sonos products?

The speakers support Apple Music. I play Apple Music on mine, using an Android Sonos controller. I added the service to Sonos using an iDevice, as recommended.

That’s great.
