![]() ![]() Read our hands-on with Apple Music support for Sonos here. Again, Apple Music support will be live tomorrow. In addition to support for Apple Music, Sonos supports Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Prime Music, and more. We had the opportunity to go hands-on with the Play:5 speaker last year and praised the speaker’s combination of a sleek design and premium sound. Sonos offers a Play:1 speaker for $199, a Play:3 for $299, as well as a more recent Play:5 for $500. The app even supports streaming Apple’s Beats 1 station, as well as other featured stations or stations you create.įor those who aren’t entirely familiar with Sonos, the company offers a ranger of connected speakers that offer the opportunity to set up a whole-home speaker system. In the Sonos Controller app, Apple Music is organized by For You, New, Radio, and My Music, just like in iTunes or the iOS Music app. Apple Music isn’t even 6 months old yet, so this really did not take much time at all.” “Apple has a high bar for this stuff So does Sonos. “We’ve been looking forward to this.” When asked why Sonos didn’t support Apple Music from the start, especially considering it supported Beats Music, Cue explained that it took some time to get it right. “It’s important to get the integration right the first time out,” Cue said. “We’re big fans of Sonos,” Apple senior vice president of internet software and services Eddy Cue said to BuzzFeed. We had an opportunity to go hands-on with Sonos support for Apple Music when the beta was announced last year and noted that in some cases, using Apple Music through the Sonos Controller app is better than Apple’s own app. Ultimately resulting in an experience that supports 70+ potential happy paths, all design to spark user delight and confidence.After launching in public beta last December, Sonos has revealed that it will officially add support for Apple Music to its connected speaker lineup tomorrow, February 10th. Imagine a reading a choose your own adventure story that have various branching stories, but managing to bring all varying plot’s decisions to the same ending. ![]() So a 15 year old product can be set up next to one that was released today, with only minor variation in the front-end user experience. Ensuring that users’ setup experiences are consistent. ![]() I paid close attention to these technological inconsistencies in order to bring consistency to the front-end. Solving for each product’s unique behaviors and quirks, all due to the software and various hardware chips we provided out-of-the-box. We had to not only design forward, but we had to react to decisions made over the last couple decades of the ever-evolving consumer electronics industry. I engrossed myself in the world of networking, security, various wireless chips. Due to the variation in detection capabilities, wireless technologies embedded in the hardware, and software available out-of-box, each product will proceed through a different backend experience. So a decision from 15 years ago must be considered in our setup experience today. When a product is sold at stores, the hardware and software embedded during manufacturing is frozen in time. It’s a variable experience technologically whenever a new speaker is set up. ![]()
