Yes. Get the music playing to the compatible device, and then Group the other rooms you want to share the audio.

Thankyou for the reply , the solution does work but not consistently, most of the time when I set up airplay through mymusic , switch to the Sonos app, group then press apply the airplay drops out , it’s so frustrating I guess it’s not the way Sonos expect the music to be played

Just checking you are grouping correctly:

Airplay to a Sonos compatible speaker.

Open Sonos App, and swipe up, select the speaker you are AirPlaying to, will have the AirPlay symbol.

Then add other speakers/rooms to that player.

Try it the way I suggested above, and see how that goes.

On the off chance that this is relevant: I’m running S1, and on the iPhone controller under Settings > System > AirPlay there’s an option “Group Non-AirPlay Products”. I recall when I first started using AirPlay I needed to fiddle with this option to get things working.
