Play Spotify Music on Sonos Speakers

The integration between Spotify and Sonos was initially limited to Spotify Premium users. At that time, if you tried to play music on Sonos with Spotify Free, you would get an error message which told that you need to upgrade to Spotify Premium. However, in late 2019, the collaboration between the two companies deepened and Sonos' service expanded to Spotify free users as well. This means that you can now stream Spotify music to Sonos speakers for playback, no matter which Spotify plan you are using.

Sonos also allows you to play local music files such as MP3 and M4A on computers, mobile phones and tablets. You can use TuneKeep Spotify Music Converter to convert Spotify music to MP3 or M4A, and then add output files to Sonos library and play on Sonos speakers. Now you have got two ways to play Spotify music on Sonos speakers.
