(Pocket-lint) - Sonos has released the over-the-air software update that allows users to play music directly from the Spotify app, rather than just through the Sonos app.
If it still does not show up in your original account, double check that you have enabled ‘Control Sonos from Spotify’ in the Sonos app under settings (this is part of the “Control Sonos from Spotify” in the Sonos app (only shows up if it is not yet enabled). Let us know if that does the trick ?. Sonos says Spotify operates an even-more closed ecosystem than Apple. Sonos cofounder John MacFarlane has hit back at Spotify’s cofounder and CEO Daniel Ek who recently whined about Apple’s platforms not being, in his personal view, open enough to third-party apps like Spotify. In a post on Twitter, MacFarlane called the real irony the fact that the Swedish company operates an even-more closed ecosystem than the Cupertino tech giant.
Until now, Sonos users were required to sign into their Spotify Premium account via the Sonos app in order to search for songs, albums or their Spotify playlists and play them through their Sonos speakers.
The new update means that while Sonos users can still use the Sonos app, they will also be able to use the Spotify app itself to stream music to any or all of their Sonos speakers.
Here's how to control Sonos through Spotify.

Grouping/Ungrouping Sonos speakers through Spotify
You won't be able to group Sonos speakers through the Spotify app directly as this requires intervention from the Sonos app. The option is there if you click on the three dots next to each Sonos speaker in the Devices Available list though, it just takes you to the Sonos app.

Once you've grouped the speakers you want to group within the Sonos app and pressed 'Done', you'll be transferred back to the Spotify app automatically. From here, you'll then be able to control the overall volume of the group of speakers, but not the individual speakers within the group.
To ungroup speakers, the same instructions apply and again, you'll be automatically transferred between the Sonos app and the Spotify app.
