Will Sonos support Apple Classical?

Music added to your library from Apple Classical is accessible on the Apple music app and Sonos

I would love to see this feature enabled in Sonos, since Sonos is the music app that I use 90% of the time. Seems that someone from Sonos would be more effective in getting Apple to support it than any of us would.

I am not sure what you mean by it is up to apple to add the new service.  Do you mean that apple have to tell Sonos they would like to add it and you have to accede to the request.  The problem is that though there is a workaround in that you can get the music from apple classical on the apple music app and that can transfer over you do not on the playlists get all the data.  So you will have a play list which will not give all the data.  You will get eg 3rd movement adagio LSO but

crucially no composer

Actually, “it is up to Apple to add the new service” is exactly what the poster meant.  Sonos is not responsible for adding services to their app.  All Sonos does is supply a free API.  It is up to the service themselves to implement their service/features using the Sonos API.  In fact, Sonos could not unilaterally add a new service if it wanted to.

Hi @Gdawg_piano & @orzel 

Hundreds of music services can be added to Sonos systems but it is the third-parties who manage the integration of their services with the Sonos API (Application Programming Interface).

In fact, here’s our guide on exactly how it can be achieved: https://developer.sonos.com/build/content-service-get-started/

The way a new service being added would work is for Apple to integrate Apple Classical as a service to be made available to Sonos listeners to add to their Sonos systems. Unfortunately Apple Classical music is not a service that has been integrated yet, but we hope that in the future this service will be made available to Sonos systems.

I hope this helps.

Edit: @jgatie beat me to it

How so?  It’s the volume of customers who want access to the service through Sonos that will motivate Apple, so all Sonos could really do is forward on your request to them, rather than you making the direct request.  If you’re thinking Sonos has marketing data that Apple does not, I highly doubt that.

Would appreciate if Apple made Apple Classical Music fully available on Sonos without needing a workaround. 

Sorry what’s this now? I had to double check you are a sonos employee! 
 

no, telling us that it is OUR responsibility to coordinate and facilitate adding access to a major streaming platform is absurd. 
 

why? We gave YOU thousands of dollars. Why? Because YOU allow us to use the music services we want to. If you didn’t, we would choose another option, for example home pods. 
 

so yeah, how about someone FROM SONOS work with Apple to make this possible FOR US. 

Or, how about someone who has an actual financial relationship with Apple use the influence of that relationship to place pressure on Apple, rather than relying on a company which has no financial ties at all, and couldn’t influence a trillion dollar company like Apple if it wanted to?
