Starting on November 12, a new software release will give Sonos
With an ad-supported free Spotify account and a Sonos system, you can:
- Access Spotify’s entire catalog on shuffle
- Access 15 personalized on-demand playlists, including Discover Weekly, Release Radar, and Daily Mix, as well as favorites like RapCaviar, Viva Latino, and more
- Stream Spotify Free through the Sonos app or directly from the Spotify app
- Start playlists with your voice based on title, genre, or mood with the Google Assistant on a voice-enabled device.
Even though you can control Sonos itself through either Amazon’s Alexa or the Google Assistant, music service integration is handled differently by each voice assistant. Because Spotify’s free tier isn’t supported by Amazon Alexa on any of the company’s Echo devices, it won’t work on Sonos either. Digital Trends was told that Sonos will look at adding the ad-supported tier of Spotify to Sonos’ Alexa integration as soon as Amazon itself supports it.
Sonos is also using this news as a way to announce its Black Friday deals. The holiday season is one of the few occasions during the year that the company discounts its products. This year, the deals focus exclusively on Sonos’ home theater components.
The deals start at midnight ET on November 28, and are valid until December 2.
