My guess is that this problem is down to Spotify, as I think they recently updated their app and gave it a make-over (the big green play button, for instance).

I like to explore and find new music, and you cannot do that within Sonos. I want to be able to control my Sonos speakers from my Spotify app because the Sonos app doesn’t have the search functionality of Spotify. It seems the only way to effect the music coming from Sonos system once I’ve linked via Spotify connect is to switch into the Sonos app. If I do, the track playing on Sonos continues and instead another track begins to play from my phone speaker. Now it seems I can’t pause tracks, skip ahead (important for podcasts) or even change tracks whilst inside the Spotify app. And that change seems to be the start of the problem. I’m really not sure if its the Sonos app or the Spotify app that is at fault (or both) but a few months ago, I noticed that the “now playing” screen on the Spotify app started to resemble the Sonos app’s “now playing” screen. Is it just my network or has the once seamless compatibility and UX interface between Sonos and the Spotify app recently collapsed?

Is spotify free shitty
