Sonos Brings Apple Music Out of Beta, Apple Inc. New Venture

Do you have Sonos on your desk or at home? Good news, Sonos is opening up Apple Music to listeners. Apple Inc. releases it from beta.

Sonos, the company that is responsible in making the high-end Wi-Fi speakers that everybody loves, is now open for all users. Apple Music is now out of its Beta Version.

Which means Apple Music will now stream through the sound waves of all Sonos users.

The progress was slow since both companies released the beta ingegration a while back. They wanted to ensure that users get the best customer experience out of the whole thing.

It initially offered beta access to hundreds of thousands of Apple Music subscribers with Sonos speakers and in the end, the response was positive.

Eddy Cue, Apple's Senior Vice President of Software and Services explains that feedback has been positive. "The feedback from Apple Music members on Sonos during the beta period has been great," he says. Beta testers have reported that the experience with Apple Music and Sonos was seamless.

All you need is to subscribe to Apple Music and have Sonos speakers at home. Once you've set up your speakers, you just need to open the Sonos app and choose "add music services". 

To avail of the service, it was explained that an Apple Music subscription or free trial is required in order for users to stream the service. And if you don't have an idea about the price of Sonos speakers, the newest model called "Play:5 Model" is retailed at $499. This kind of service challenges Spotify which has gained a concrete foothold in the streaming music service industry.

Recently, Spotify has announced that it's expanding to a much more flexible video platform.
