Best answer by Ditte

Hi all,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. Apple Music is not currently available via the Google Assistant. We're always looking for ways to add new services and experiences - we'll post again as and when we have more to share.

All the best, and happy holidays,

Ditte

I’m eagerly waiting for this 😳

And alternatively I’m switching to Alexa which supports this - till Sonos/Googles solves this.

I was shocked that this didn’t work when I setup a new Nest Hub yesterday.  Sonos team, if you’re watching this thread, can you help us to understand what the issue is?

 

  • Should we putting pressure on Apple for the proper APIs to support? Google? You? 
  • Can you confirm that it’s on your roadmap to enable the proper behavior? Do you have any sort of target that you can share?

Hi All.

I’m afraid the Best Answer from Ditte still stands - we have no further information to share.

    Pretty sure this is a Google thing, not a Sonos problem. They’re not going to badmouth Google here though. Fortunately the workaround isn’t terrible…I just talk to Siri to play music via Airplay rather than talking to Google directly through the speakers.

    Hi community and CM’s.

     

    Not to necro this thread but I’m still hoping that this can be resolved.

     

    I don’t think this needs to be a case of bad mouthing anyone.   There can be full transparency here without blaming any other party. 
     

    I think the community appreciates that feature development can take time.  A formal acknowledgement that the CMs are listening to their customer base and then something to manage expectations would go along way.  “We are working with xxxxxx to identify solution options and we expect this to take yyyyyyy.  Please bear with us”.

    If it’s “never” going to happen (never is long time - think close ecosystems now more open). Also say so we can invest our time money and effort elsewhere.  
     

    Best,

    James

      Can’t be a Google thing , Apple Music works fine on all Google nest products you can even ask Google to play radio stations on Sonos. When you ask Google to play music (my default is Apple Music) on Sonos it says ok now playing then “I’m sorry Sonos doesn’t support Apple Music”

       

      I like to blame Google for a lot of things but this is purely with Sonos.

        definitely feels like a “google” issue….when I set google as my voice assistant on my arc, it won't play Apple Music. When I change it to Alexa, it works flawlessly….Google will allow me to play Apple Music on a google home device….
