1. Check if your Music Service is installed inside the Sonos App

  • Please note that you must have an active subscription with Apple or Spotify Premium. The free version of Spotify is not expected to work.
  • Once you have ensured that your music service is installed, proceed to step 2.

To ensure that everything is working correctly, follow these steps:

  • Open the Sonos App.
  • Click on “Browse” in the bottom menu.
  • Click on your Music Service, such as Spotify or Apple Music. (In the example below, we show Apple Music, but Spotify works the same way.)
