Unable to play multiple streams from spotify via Sonos

Hi,

Until today I have been able to play different songs on different speakers from a single Spotify account.

But when I do it today, every time a start a new room, the former room stop playing.

I have tried to start it directly from the Sonos app and from the Spotify app with the same result.

Any settings I might have missed? Or is there something changed in the Spotify/Sonos license?

    Hi @TorbenR et al

    We have identified an issue preventing some users from playing multiple streams from Spotify and are investigating.

    Interesting to hear that it is working again for some of you - we’ll keep an eye on it, but please repost here if you are still experiencing this issue. Thanks.

    Just made a switch from a Pandora Family plan to a Spotify Family plan. Pandora allowed me to play a different station on each speaker, Spotify does not.

    I created a separate Spotify account linked to the family plan just for use on Sonos. Playing anything from Spotify on one speaker stops any stream playing on any other speaker.

    This is contrary to most of the articles out there that state you can play different Spotify streams to different Sonos speakers.

    Same problem as everyone else describes. Please help.

    I removed and readded the Spotify account to the Sonos account and it has seemed to have resolved the issue. Fingers crossed

    In doing further testing I'm finding that removing and re-adding the Spotify account from Sonos can correct the issue.

    After doing the remove/add I can once again play different streams to different speakers VIA THE APP only.

    If I then use Sonos voice control to request a song on one speaker, the problem immediately comes back and I'm once again limited to one stream for the entire system.

    Have also had this problem, I use to be able to use spotify on different rooms etc, but now i can’t. I have just removed the service from SONOS App and re-instated, will see how it goes.  


    Does anyone think it is a SPOTIFY issue?
