Sonos kicks off trial to stream Apple Music to its multi-room speakers

Sonos will make Apple Music available to stream through its connected speakers later this month in a special trial to give listeners the ability to hear their favourite tracks in any room of their house.

Starting with a public beta on December 15, Sonos users will be able to access every aspect of Apple Music including My Music, For You, New and Radio through any or all of the smart speakers on their network.

“Streaming is bringing more music into everyone’s lives—and that’s a better life. The introduction of Apple Music marks an inflection point for streaming and its mass adoption,” said Sonos co-founder and Chief Executive Officer John MacFarlane.

“Now that we have access to virtually all the music on Earth, how music lovers listen to it is even more important.
