Apple Classical on Sonos

I hope that Apple will allow Apple Classical onto the Sonos app. As a heavy user of Sonos and an avid classical music fan, I would love it if both worked together like Apple Music does now.

Apple Classical App is a big plus for fans of so-called classical music, but Sonos support is obviously needed by all of us who enjoy listening via Sonos speakers throughout the smarthome & yard. So, Apple, please make compatibility with the Sonos App a priority to further increase your Apple Music subscriber base by winning listeners of “Classical” music over from Spotify, YT, etc. (i.e. other Music Apps that lack a Classical-optimized user interface and fail to leverage Classical-focused metadata).

I totally agree. When Apple made the announcement about Apple Classical I was so excited. And then, so disappointed to realize how lame the workaround is to try to play it on Sonos. Apparently, this is up to Apple to add, so I’m asking, as are many other Apple Music subscribers who listen on Sonos, please please please, integrate Apple Classical with Sonos.


According to Sonos staff, this is up to Apple to make happen: “Hundreds of music services can be added to Sonos systems but it is the third-parties who manage the integration of their services with the Sonos API (Application Programming Interface). In fact, here’s our guide on exactly how it can be achieved: https://developer.sonos.com/build/content-service-get-started/“.


So, would really appreciate if Apple Music developers could get to work on this ASAP!
