Apple Music Finally Comes to Sonos!

They said it would be done by the end of the year, and they got it done with a month to spare.

According to Yahoo, Apple Music is now able as a music service on the Sonos platform!


This is great news for the AAAD household.

Frankly, I can't wait to get home from the office, sign up for Apple Music, and try it out.

For now, it's a public beta. You have to sign up, and you can do so right here.

It will go live on 12/15, however, so if you don't want to run beta software, you have the option of just waiting an extra 12 days.

UPDATE/EDIT - The public beta goes live on 12/15. It's assumed that Apple Music will go live on Sonos for "real" in early January.

To sign up for the beta, go to the Sonos app on your phone. Click "Settings", then "Advanced Settings", then "Join Beta". This will include you in future beta releases. 

We're paid up with Spotify until the end of the year, so we'll have a 1-month MUSIC SERVICE FACEOFF in which both services will be fighting for our affections.

But really, I have to imagine that we're going to be moving to Apple Music.

The idea that we'll be able to play our music with Siri (in theory, anyway) is simply too much to pass up.

For now, however, I plan on being the last "Apple Early Adopter" in the world to sign up for Apple Music's 90-day free trial.

And just to show our appreciation, I'll be adding another Sonos device to the mix!

Not All AirPort Extremes are Created Equal (UPDATED)

I'm looking for a used AirPort Extreme. In all the usual places - eBay, Craigslist.  I'll probably get one this week. Why? It's a long story.  A while back, I picked up an AirPort Express A1084 router on Craigslist, and found that it was incompatible with my AirPort Utility and wireless-n network, even though it looked *identical* to the current model of AirPort Express.  So, I wrote a post on this blog about the different types of AirPort Express routers, noting that if you're looking for used Airport Express routers to extend your AirPlay network, you'd better seek out model A1264. In the months that followed, Apple updated the AirPort Express again, changing the form factor (it looks like a little white AppleTV now), adding simultaneous dual-band support, and giving it model number A1392.  ASIDE: I'm not totally convinced that the form-factor change was an improvement. The A1264 plugged directly into the wall, which was incr

Review - WOW Ultra TV vs. DirecTV HR34 Genie

Here in the Chicago suburbs, we had two options for whole-home DVR services. We initially went with WOW Ultra TV, and after about 4 months, we switched to DirecTV's HR34 Genie system. (Neither Verizon FIOS nor AT&T UVerse were available in our area, so we can't review those. I haven't used Dish's Hopper, either. This is a straight compare/contrast review of WOW vs. DirecTV.) Both Ultra TV and Genie have their plusses and minuses. Both offer 1080p output, but that's primarily for the menus, as most TV content is provided at lower resolutions.  Both systems have a similar design architecture - a central hub, with multiple tuners and a large hard drive, recording and storing all TV shows, and distributing them to televisions around the house upon request.  Both systems also bring a number of "add-on" apps and have ways of accessing "on demand" content.  We've had each system for enough time to really put them through
