SoundCloud is home to remixes, DJ sets, demos, and tracks you simply can't find anywhere else, but Sonos has no built-in SoundCloud service for most listeners. The fix is simple: if SoundCloud plays in your browser, you can send it to Sonos. The free Cast to Sonos Chrome extension casts the audio from the SoundCloud web player directly to any Sonos speaker.
What you'll need
- Google Chrome (or another Chromium browser)
- A SoundCloud account (free is fine) at soundcloud.com
- A Sonos speaker on the same network
