Default Spotify Features

...Because someone has to say it...

First of all, I LOVE Spotify on Sonos! The sound quality and access to my playlists is amazing

(But...)

Here's what I would like to see - add your votes, and maybe Spotify will open up their API a little more!

- Spotify Radio
- New Releases
- Spotify Social (so I can browse my friends' playlists)
- Inbox

GUI improvements:

- All playlists under 'Playlists' menu item
- Support Playlist Folders - it's getting a bit cluttered on my CR100!

I'll mention that if you add friends on the PC client and subscribe to their playlists, they will show up on Sonos. Yes it would be nice to control this from Sonos direcly.

If you add the user "spotify" to your friends list, you can access their playlists and there are some new releases/top 100's and other interesting ones.

Cheers,

Keith

I didn't know about the user "spotify", that's a great tip.

I'm following a few playlists from "topisfy", and a fair few tracks show as unavailable (note icon with line through) on Sonos. Eg: Katy Perry - Teenage Dream, The Script - For The First Time.

Anyone else having a similar problem?

This is because those particular tracks are only licensed to a particular zone/country.

I'm in the UK, and can play them fine from the desktop client.

If I search I can find the artist, album & play the track no problems.

Yes, but the particular tracks in that playlist may have been added from a listing in another country. There are often multiple versions of tracks available. I've had a look at the Topsify playlists and there are a lot of tracks I can't play from the desktop client. If you search for the tracks though, it will only return tracks you CAN play.

Default Spotify playlists

I love also Spotify on Sonos, and I agree with the other suggestions in the forum.

what I also like to see is a possibilty to sort the playlists and starlist by artist on the sonos controller.

I can sort the list on my pc (spotify), but that is not taken over on my Sonos CR200 .

Thumbs up Spotify "Stars"

Spotify on Sonos is really great!
Most of all I miss the functionality to be able to Star and Unstar the tracks I'm listening to.
I also miss (especially in the Ipad client!) to be able read about the artists, albums, hyperlinks etc. that you can access in the Spotify client.

Regards
Johan

Cool Ability to add more than one Spotify account?

Hi Guys,

I'm really impressed with the streaming quality of Spotify on the Sonos...add 'folders' and the 'star' button and I'll be using it a hell of a lot more.

However...one issue which my girlfriend is getting a little frustrated over is the fact that you can only add one Spotify account currently. Are there any plans to allow additional accounts in the future?

Graham
