Sonos Developer Platform Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• S2 Speaker Source Code

  No, but maybe this is helpful: https://developer.sonos.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• YouTube Music playlists in Sonos app

  No. And it's likely that will not change. The YTM integration via developer.sonos.com is incredibly basic compared to other services such as Spotify. It is well-known how terrible YTM integration is with Sonos. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A Question about Sonos Data Collection (Spotify, Local Library, Plex etc)

  They have read disk access to the actual encrypted music files hosted by that services' Content Distribution Network (CDN) servers. When you select a track on the S2 App or any other online music service, your Sonos player will connect to via that service's integration (developer.sonos.com) to grab that content.

• small app-features id like to see

  Spotify Connect doesn't get as much access to the Sonos client frontend does as the Spotify integration on developer.sonos.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is the Android app really that bad?

  Blame the Spotify integration on developer.sonos.com for this. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Want to buy Sonos home theater but have several questions

  No. All Sonos devices have direct access to Spotify's Content Distribution Network via Spotify's integration at developer.sonos.com and can all pull audio files on demand from Spotify.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Love the speakers, hate the app.

  This is an integration that's supposed to be maintained by Spotify. Sonos provides the API access at developer.sonos.com. Spotify is 75% responsible for whatever access is provided to their music service. Source: about 2 years ago

• Need Opinions About Boost

  Blame Amazon for their code. Sonos provides the API at developer.sonos.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Sonos Business model

  If you ever use developer.sonos.com (great site for reference tools), Sonos applies fees on Content Service providers (e.g. Spotify, TIDAL, Qobuz and Plex Media Server) by selling licenses to list their services on the Sonos S1 and S2 App. Source: over 2 years ago

• Connect Sonos to a Remote Server?

  Start here: https://developer.sonos.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Hello fellas. What is the difference between choosing living room speaker and basically choosing the same set up via airplay?? The audio quality does change a bit... but I would appreciate the explanation on the technicalities between the two. Thanks!

  If you are to start playback on Sonos via any music service, you'll hear the full/intended stream (as in 256kbps Advanced Audio Codec, *.AAC for Spotify). When playing any online music source, all Sonos player grabs the audio stream straight from the Content Distribution Network (CDN) as provided by that music service's integration at developer.sonos.com.

• Sonos beam discontinued?

  The Arc is the widest sound bar (it's bigger than a Playbar, its older brother). I believe that it's not necessary for that addition. I'm not an employee of Sonos, other than I've made a developer account on developer.sonos.com. Source: over 2 years ago

• Sonos controller questions

  Yes and no. All Sonos products use Linux as the operating system and Linux commands can be used. No because, you need to a dev on developer.sonos.com to have access to the dev options. Might a big cost of about $1000 to push updates/custom code. Source: about 3 years ago
