Few days back Sonos announced that Apple Music would be available as a music service from December 15. Now Sonos has released an update to its controller apps that add support for Apple’s streaming service, albeit in beta form.
The beta tag means it’s entirely possible and you will be experience issues while using the service and you should expect frequent updates until the service is ready for official in early 2016. Once you updated the Sonos application, simply slide out the menu and tap on settings.
Under settings click on the advanced settings followed by beta program and click on the button titled join beta program, and follow the prompts to install software update across your Sonos system.
After completion of update you need to add Apple Music to your list of services. In the menu, tap on Add Music Service. Find Apple Music in the list of services, and select it. If it’s not immediately present, wait a few minutes and try again. When I set up my system, it took about 10 minutes for it to show up.
Now select whether you’re an existing customer or would like to start your 3-month trial, then follow the prompts. You’ll need to log in to your Apple Music account. It is also possible to add multiple Apple Music accounts to the same Sonos system. But the device will default to using your Apple Music account, ensuring your playlists and music library are always present.
