Sonos and Spotify

[woodster]

So what do you do first?

Do you upgrade on spotify to premium account and it appears magically on sonos?

Or

Do you upgrade software on sonos to include spotify option and then go premium?

Is the pairing alive yet?

Help

The Sonos will update automatically to give you Spotify.

If you already have a Spotify premium account, all you'll need to do is log into it on the Sonos.

Many thanks.....

Was it me being dim or is it not clear?

 

[woodster]

The 3.3 firmware which includes support for Spotify will be available "by the end of the month", along with the iPad controller.

 

[Andy Clough]

Yup, due at the end of September as we reported in our News story. Should be any day now I guess.

 

[woodster]

Thank you gents

the sonos updates are out

v 3.3 updates include - updated desktop app , iphone app and the CR200 controller, the look and feel is very similar to previous versions with the exception of spotify integration of course, the most significant upgrade is the ipad, it moves it from a standard iphone app to a triple section display with drag and drop to music queue - very nice

 

[Frank Harvey]

Just updated my iPad - yum yum!!

Gorgeous, isn't it? I had a play at IFA.

 

[Andy H]

Is the spotify only for premium accounts. I use the free version will I be able to use that ??

 

[Clare Newsome]

Nope, it's Spotify Premium only at present - more in our news story here

Go on, it's worth it for the quality boost (and exclusive content).

I need an Ipad...........what is availability like these days

 

[Zarn_Smith]

I think it is less the availability and more the affordability these days 🙂

 

[Pete Shields]

Agreed. Combined birthday present with the other half methinks.

I saw a queue outside the apple store a week or so ago. Didn't ask them what they were standing there for, but I assume it was for Ipads.

 

[woodster]

After some deliberation, I have decided on seeing the sonos/spotify ipad app that the pc/mac and iphone interfaces for sonos are very very poor. How disapointed was I on seeing the iphone sonos/spotify connectivety........long wait for something so visually poor, sonically sound though.

Damn it deliberation over....... I need the ipad!

Pete S - How much of a difference does your dacmagic make to the ZP90

 

[Pete Shields]

Dan.m , I'd used the ZP90 for 3 months without a DAC, then plugged in my old Audio Alchemy DAC. A marked improvement. I then treated myself to a DACmagic after all of the good reviews and would agree that the improvement was again marked. I think it's money well spent and probably as good as you need for the ZP90 as a source. Sound is more defined and open in my system.

Try a demo - maybe along with the new Arcam. I'm sure you won't be disappointed,.

 

[woodster]

I was generally happy with the sonos system before I moved in the dac direction, no complaints, much improved soundstage through the Kelidhs and Kandy.......Yep very happy especially with spotify, though stand fast the electronic interface!
