Starting this week, my Sonos Beam 2.0 speaker will no longer connect to my iTunes library. These are local files, I don’t have an Apple Music subscription any longer. I don’t want to pay for it when I have a large iTunes library of local files. My Sonos Beam 2.0 has been working fine for the past year, and literally mid-song, it disconnected and Sonos told me a firewall had gone up. I checked it, but I’m allowing all incoming connections from Sonos, so this shouldn’t be an issue. 

Every time I try to connect Apple Music as a service on the Sonos app or on my MacBook, it tells me I need to re-authorize Apple Music. I do this, and then it tells me that I need to do it AGAIN even though I just did it. Now, on the Sonos app on my MacBook when I select Apple Music, it tells me that I need to renew my Apple Music subscription. But I just want to be able to play my local files. 

At one point, I had my iTunes library uploaded to Sonos, but it erased it from the app. Then I was using the Apple Music app as a connected service to play music through Sonos. But now, I can’t do either. 

 Did anyone else have this problem, and what did you do to fix it?

Apple restrict use of their music service within Sonos app to those with an active Apple Music subscription.
