Any insight as to why they would do that? As far as I'm aware Spotify has no interest in selling hardware of their own, and Sonos isn't competing with them on the streaming front.
- Spivak 7y agoNo, but they do have an interest in getting their software and protocol into these devices with Spotify Connect. I'm personally really happy with this because the implementation is really slick. They're using their leverage on smart speaker makers to support them rather than the reverse because they can -- and the result from a user perspective is really nice since there's no weird compatibility issues. You either speak the connect protocol or you don't. https://spotify-everywhere.com/ https://spotify-everywhere.com/
