Sonos have updated their app to make streaming music through their home speaker systems easier and better than ever before.

Sonos speakers are great and make for one of the best home listening experiences at a price that won’t break the bank. One place Sonos has always fallen behind in though is their apps which never quite achieved the seamless home music experience users want from a WiFi connected, multi-room speaker.

An update to Sonos’ app simplifies the experience more than ever before. Now, if you want to play a song, album, or playlist from the Sonos app you just need to simply tap to play. No more needless excess just to begin streaming to your Sonos speakers, it’s as simple as touching the screen. Sonos will then immediately play whatever comes next in the album, playlist or station rather than making you choose each track in the queue.

Of course that doesn’t mean that you can’t create playlists on the fly like before, Sonos will notify you when a tap will create a new queue so that you can get used to the app’s new playing methods. Sonos also recently revealed that they will be soon making it possible to stream to Sonos directly from music streaming service apps, starting with Spotify next month.

Sonos say that “the way we listen has always evolved alongside technology” which is what prompted them to change how you listen to music on Sonos’ app. In a statement released alongside the update, Sonos said: “We’re listening differently. More and more Sonos listeners are choosing curated radio stations and custom playlists over individual tracks. Less time spent searching for single songs, more time spent filling your home with a continual flow of music.

So in response, we’ve evolved our Sonos App to make this new style of listening as fast and easy as possible. It all adds up to a faster connection between you and your music, designed for the way we listen now. So go ahead – update your Sonos and press play on a brand new playlist and listen out loud.”
