An Apple Music account and the Apple Music app installed on your smartphone. Your Sonos speaker will work with any plan, even the trial. The Sonos Controller app (available for iOS and Android). The Sonos ecosystem is pretty cool. The big question I'd post to anyone interested in it is how big is your library, and on what device(s) are you running it from? We are using Sonos to play: from an iPhone (including Apple Music) from an Android phone (yep, we are a 'divided' household) from the external hard drive I keep our master iTunes. After you add your ‌Apple Music‌ subscription through the Sonos Controller app, you can listen to the entire ‌Apple Music‌ catalog or your personal music library, get music recommendations. In the Music app on your Mac, choose Music Preferences, click General, then select the Sync Library checkbox. To turn on your music library on another device, do any of the following: Another computer: In the Music app on your Mac, sign in to the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID that you used on the first computer, then choose Music.
