Apple Music coming to Sonos, beta out on December 15

 “We’re thrilled to be working with Sonos to provide the Apple Music experience in even more places fans enjoy music.” - Eddie Cue, Apple's SVP for Internet Software and Services.

Sonos has just announced that Apple Music will soon be accessible and compatible with Sonos speakers and networks.  The power of Sonos is that it can access and play back music from a variety of sources including Beats Music and Spotify as well as DRM-free local music on iPhones and Macs.

Sonos users will soon be able to stream anything from the Apple Music collection to single or multiple connected speakers simultaneously. This puts Apple Music within reach of thousands of Sonos users who have been clamouring for Apple's streaming music service and live radio service that is still being offered as a three month free subscription for new users. In other news Beats Music, which was compatible with Sonos before Apple purchased Beats, has shut down today.

Apple Music will be available in public beta on Sonos starting December 15. Listeners will have the ability to stream all their favorite aspects of Apple Music, including For You, New, Radio, and My Music, through Sonos smart speakers tuned for great sound in any or every room of their homes.

 Streaming is bringing more music into everyone’s lives—and that’s a better life. The introduction of Apple Music marks an inflection point for streaming and its mass adoption,” said Sonos co-founder and Chief Executive Officer John MacFarlane. “Now that we have access to virtually all the music on Earth, how music lovers listen to it is even more important. We are honored to bring Apple Music to Sonos listeners all over the world.”
