Spotify's way of handling is completely terrible and i am very tempted to cancel. I have a bunch of Echo's around my house and the Spotify family plan which i share with my wife . My wife can't play music on our the Amazon Echo if i am using Spotify elsewhere on my phone, or laptop because of the one account one stream rule Spotify implements.. You can't create fake accounts for your Echo's, they actually make an effort to verify you actually exist with some identity database. All to prevent a legitimate customer from being able to use their service.

  My Sonos is logged into Spotify with my own creds. So if I'm driving around using Spotify and my wife fires up the Sonos with my creds saved to it, it stops playing in my car. She's got her own account on our family plan, but she's not going to change the username/password to hers every time she uses the Sonos (and me do the reverse). I suppose I could generate a "dummy" family member account used just for the Sonos, but then it wouldn't have my playlists....

    I’m fairly certain that Sonos allows multiple streaming accounts for each provider. I currently have three Apple Music accounts registered on my Sonos, and have had multiple Spotify accounts registered in the past.

    They support multiple accounts. Maybe you need to contact support. https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/multiple-spotify-accounts-6763522 https://en.community.sonos.com/controllers-software-228995/m...
