Sonos Speakers Getting YouTube Music; No Word on Google Assistant Control

Google said YouTube Music is available on all Sonos speakers, letting YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium subscribers play songs, albums, playlists and artist radio stations along with YouTube’s standard catalog of remixes, live performances and covers. We weren’t able to pull up YouTube through our Sonos app, and a search on the Sonos community site showed a question asking about YouTube from five months ago. A post dated “12 days ago” from a Sonos customer said: “I just discovered the Sonostube app. It plays youtube on your Sonos system.” We didn’t find an app under YouTube or Sonostube, but a Sonos spokesperson emailed us that software updates are being issued “on a rolling basis.” On whether the elevated coziness with another Google streaming service hinted at an impending release of an update for Google Assistant voice control -- expected last year -- she said: “we’ll share more as soon as we can!”
