Apple Music it's going to be a really great service until you realize that Spotify, world leader in music streaming, it works across a lot of mobile and desktop platforms and with the support of dozens of hi-fi systems, wireless speakers, game consoles, televisions, etc.
However, Apple has no intention of overlooking this aspect of Spotify. This news gives us an idea of financial that Apple Music will have in third parties, since both Sonos and Apple have officially confirmed that they are working together to bring Sonos hardware to its great app this year.
El Former Beats CEO Ian Rogers, which is now a DSenior Director of Apple Music, wrote a Tweet saying that Apple Music would integrate with Sonos ASAP, but not in the official launch of the app. Shortly after, a spokesperson for this company told 'The Verge' that the two companies are working together to bring the support of Apple Music. Before the end of the year.

We are working together with Sonos to make it compatible with Apple Music before the end of the year, Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr told BuzzFeed.
If Apple is serious about its app, it should treat it not like a music streaming service confined to your own hardware and software, but as a platform that can be listened to and is compatible with the largest number of products, that is, like Spotify. Although the service will work on Windows PC (iTunes installed) From day one, and on Android devices starting this fall, I think Tim Cook should double down on putting Apple Music on as many third-party devices as possible, I personally think they go the correct road.
