Nothing beats watching two of your favourite things getting together and making a love child, and news that our favourite music streaming service, Spotify, is teaming up with our favourite home audio system, Sonos Zoneplayer, has us all giddy.
Call it SoYes already!
Sonos, with a reputation built on quality wireless streaming audio playback in the home, partnering with Spotify, which is considered to be the marquee audio streaming service, this partnership just makes sense.
There are a few requirements, of course. For one, you’ll need to own one of the Sonos Zoneplayer systems. You will also need a premium Spotify account – free won’t cut it, friends. Finally, you also need an iOS device – either the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad – to use the free Sonos application you can download from Apple’s app store so as to access Sonos. If you’ve ticked all those boxes, then do it!
How do the teams feel about it?
The good folks at TechRadar reached out for a comment on the deal, and got some gems. Mike Edwards, who is the UK regional director over at Sonos said ‘Spotify compatibility was the most requested feature we have ever had’. I can believe that.
While Sonos has long had access to various forms of streaming services and Internet radio, this represents the first time Spotify has ventured outside of the confines of computers and smartphones. Daniel Ek, who founded Spotify and is the current CEO, had this to say: ‘It’s great that people will be able to listen to Spotify whenever they want, wherever they want in their home,’ and that his company is ‘excited to partner with Sonos to deliver the unique Spotify experience in the home.’
