Streaming to Sonos - not Spotify

[James6112]

Hi

For a few years i’ve had Spotify ‘free’ with my discounted mobile contract.
But it’s being pulled on renewal.
So £11.99 a month to continue.

Time for a change I think. Will switch providers as I only chose for the Spotify!

Recommendations to stream to Sonos?

So far have considered Prime. Maybe the Apple family pack (Tv/Music/£25 a month for 5 shares)

Or maybe dust off the old CDs!

No matter what I try I can’t get Spotify to play to my Sonos system, so I use Tidal.

Cheers

Spotify/Sonos works well for us!
The Tidal family deal looks interesting.
It’s not the money, just hacked off that it’s not on the mobile now.
May sign up for Tidal & give it to the grown up kids!

Thanks

Just downloaded the Tidal app, a month free trial.
Will give it a go for a few days, before cancelling Spotify / downgrading phone contract as a sulk!

I find the sound quality notably better but there may be a higher quality Spotify option now.

Hi

Signed up for a Tidal trial today, £2 to extend it to 2 months single user.

Had a few problems but Ok now, I deleted my Spotify & removed from Sonos, seemed to have been confusing things!

One question, do you play Tidal from the Sonos app?
That’s what I’m doing.

With Spotify I could control it from the Spotify app, can’t see a way to do that from Tidal.

Cheers- found it

On my iphone it’s not really visible for some reason, must be a setting somewhere.
Tried both light & dark mode & still the same.
It does work though, just can’t see the icon!

(Just found it’s the same on wife’s phone, works fine & all Sonos visible , maybe something to do with trial?, a minor thing anyway)

Tidal is working great now.
Exported all of my play lists from Spotify to Tidal easily.
Will probably sign up for the family membership when the trial ends.
