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 am in the UK. I have a nest Audio and a few minis as well as Sonos, so tried this and it works well. Amusingly the Apple Music stuff sounds better (different masters?) than the YouTube Music streams on the nest audio. On my Sonos I get the Apple Music not supported message. Would be great to get this working soon Sonos!

    I added Apple Music as my default music service on Google Home. 
    -When I ask the Nest Mini to play Apple Music on the same Nest Mini it works beautifully. I assume this is true for all Nest Audio devices, i.e. google assistant asking google product to play Apple Music works. 
    -When I ask my Nest Mini to play Apple Music on my Sony TV, it works perfectly. 
    -When I ask Nest Mini to play Apple Music on any of my Sonos (by changing default speaker output), it does NOT work. 
    -When I ask my Google Assistant (on Sonos speakers this time) to play Apple Music on any Sonos speakers, it does NOT work (“not supported”). 
     

    Adding Apple Music to Google Assistant is great as long as Sonos enables this to propagate through their speakers. Hopefully just a setting or quick software fix, as y’all have suggested.

      Looks like most of us are trying to get a Google Home device (Nest Hub, etc.) to direct a Sonos speaker to play Apple Music. Has anyone had success getting a Sonos voice-enabled device (One, Beam, Arc) with Google Assistant enabled on that device to play Apple Music on that device itself?

       

      good question, I only tried a Home mini and a home hub that I use as glorified doorbell chimes with nest hello then set Sonos as default speaker.

      Yea I tried on a GA-enabled Move just to play on itself. The most frustrating part is that is finds the play list or artist or album or whatever but then immediately comes back and says not supported. What a tease!

        Looks like Google Assistant now natively supports Apple Music. I just tried it, but it says it is not supported on the Move. Any time frame for it to be added?

        Great question this is very important!! Hopefully soon would be nice before Christmas.

          So Sonos is refusing to support it? Because literally EVERY OTHER third-party speaker with Google Assistant works with it now. Except Sonos.

          Becoming increasingly frustrated with how Sonos works with these services, as well as limitations with AirPlay. You don’t make it easy for those in the Apple ecosystem.

            Well this is disappointing. Would have thought this was at the top of the development teams priority list.

              Hi Ditte and the Sonos team. Having a “mixed” Apple and Google tech home, having access to my Apple Music account from my Sonos speakers running Google Assistant would be a great addition. 

              Have a great holiday and new year

                I am confused.

                Sonos + Apple Music = Works

                Sonos + Alexa + Apple Music = Works

                Google Assistant + Apple Music = Works

                Sonos + Google Assistant + Apple Music = Of course this WILL NOT work, how dare you assume it would!

                 

                This makes no sense at all and I would love to understand why this is not a supported option

                  Just adding to the chorus here that this is a must have now that Google’s devices all support it. Though I’m willing to give a little bit of time for Sonos to make their updates, this was just rolled out by Google on 12/7.
