Sonos and mobile app at the same time

[omzrrr]

Hello,

I have a premium account. I listen to Spotify on my commute (in my phone) and my family listens to it at home (through Sonos). Now when I am communiting my playback stops if somebody is listening to music at home and viceversa.

What is the easiest way to have a single account and play music in two places? Is this even possible or a single account can only play in one location? I'm happy to get a family plan but I would like to avoid creating a second profile, and I'd like to share single favorites, playlists, etc.

Thanks!

Hey @omzrrr

Two plays on one account is not possible. Spotify accounts are made for individual use.

I would suggest the family plan, so that you can have multiple accounts.

http://spotify.com/family

The easiest way to listen to the same playlists would be for one account to make the playlist, and then have the other account follow the playlist so that it shows up in their playlist sidebar.

You can right click on your playlists in the sidebar and select "Make Public". Playlists that you have made public will show up on your profile so others can see the playlists. Then you can have friends/family go to your Spotify profile and follow you. They should be able to search for your username or name in Spotify search and you should show up under the profiles section. If not, you can go to your profile, and under your name there should be a circle "..." button. Click that and select copy profile link. You can then send that link to people so they can go directly to your profile.

Or, without making the playlist public so it shows on your profile, you can also just right click on your playlist and select "Copy Playlist Link" and then send that link to them. Then they can use the link to open the playlist in the Spotify app.

There is also a way to make a playlist collaborative in the right click menu so that multiple people can edit the playlist.

You can also click on the circle "..." button inside of a playlist, song, album to copy the link to it to then share with people.

This is a great response. I think sharing playlists and making them so that other people on the family can collaborate could get me 90% of the functionality I am looking for.

Thank you.
