Fancy listening to your choice of over eight million songs, in any room in your house, wirelessly? Of course you do. And from the end of September, you can – provided you're a Sonos owner and a Spotify Premium subscriber.
The free Sonos Software 3.3 update is scheduled for the end of this month, after which anyone with a Sonos Zoneplayer, a Sonos controller (such as the swish new free iPhone and iPad applications) and a Spotify Premium account can play any song in any room, any time they like.
If you use the Sonos ZonePlayer S5 (two of which can now be configured as a stereo pair as well as two separate zones), you'll need no ‘traditional' hi-fi equipment at all – your S5, Controller and Spotify account gives you wireless access to over thirty year's-worth of uninterrupted listening.
As well as the UK, the Sonos/Spotify tie-in will be available to users in Finland, France, Holland, Norway, Spain and Sweden. See the Sonos video demonstration here.
