Any plans to add Voice Control for Qobuz, BBC Sounds or Spotify?

Sonos Voice Control is excellent. It just works and does exactly what I need for my Apple Music account. I also listen to Qobuz, Spotify and BBC Sounds regularly - any idea if or when they might be added to Sonos Voice Control?

Add in Sirius XM as well.

I would ask - please - for Spotify, Plex, local NAS library and SiriusXM as soon as you can.  Just installed the Sonos voice control, but alas it doesn’t work for me as none of the above are supported.

Asking it to “play music” as the tutorial suggests gives a response that I have to sign up for a music service first.  As you can see from above, I do and have.  Just not what’s currently supported.

That does seem odd. Next time you do it, I’d submit a system diagnostic within 10 minutes and call Sonos Support to discuss it. That might give them some additional hard data to pass on to the engineers.

SiriusXM is likely last on the list, its object tree and SMAPI search results are a nightmare to try and match with speech intent. The only thing more painful would be the old Rhapsody API (may that RIP).

Spotify and local library are trivial.

Can’t speak to Qobuz, Plex or BBC Sounds, never tried to wire them to a speech engine.

Have the same thing - it’s because they moved to BBC Sounds as the default service for the main BBC radio stations but these aren’t currently supported by SVC. However, some BBC stations have remained on TuneIn, of which BBC Arabic is the first alphabetically. So, when you say “play BBC Radio 1” SVC interprets this as “play the first BBC station from TuneIn”. Weird and won’t be fixed until BBC Sounds is available through SVC I guess…

@James L.  it’s been a couple of months. Any update on Spotify integration with Sonos Voice?

Apologies for the late reply.

No, nothing to announce at this time.

We’ll be sure to let everyone know when Spotify is added to SVC 🙂 (FWIW, it’s a feature I’m eagerly waiting for too!)
