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 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

 

Google is absolute, pure evil. Somehow they managed to convince the world that they are “open”. They gimp everything that isn’t theirs by default.

I despise them with the power of a thousand suns. Their ecosystem is just as walled as Apples (if not worse)

Well as someone who has a full google setup around the house. I bought a HomePod Mini and two Sonos for airplay 2 syncing this month. I tried the Alexa functionality using Apple Music on the Sonos and hated it. I was so happy to see Apple Music come to Google assistant (and the fact that it seems to half work) that I ordered more Sonos on the assumption that full functionality was imminent. Seems crazy not to sort this out!

It’s a 100 day return period right! Might give it a few weeks to see if the situation changes?

I have all the same problems as you guys except when I link Sonus to google home and just say “hey google play” Sonos plays what ever is on the Sonos app.

can’t get it to play what I want through the google home though so defeats the object really.

does Spotify work?

That’s correct the playing/stopping/pausing etc; of a pre-loaded playlist on a Sonos device has been available since the voice assistants were first available on Sonos… it’s the initiating/loading of a playlist into the queue that’s needed and Sonos are yet to do that with the Google Assistant & Apple Music.
 

Even though Google does not (currently) support Amazon Music (just as another example), you can still pre-load one of their playlists manually to a speaker queue ...and play/stop/pause etc; using the Google Assistant.

Google Home (Hubs & Speakers) now support Apple Music in the U.S.  My new Sonos One set with Google Assistant (not Amazon) says that it is not compatible with Apple Music requested via the Assistant.

It responds “OK, playing…..on Apple Music” and then “Sorry...Apple Music is not supported on Sonos...”

Hoping for a quick fix from Sonos - or its getting returned.

I’m having the exact same issue. EXACT. Also won’t show up when I try and add to HomeKit.
