Platine is a Sonos remote built for Apple Music. No AirPlay, no re-encoding. Platine tells the speaker what to play; the speaker fetches the track itself, straight from Apple. You can put your device away β€” the music keeps playing. β–  All of Apple Music Your library, your playlists, For You, new releases and charts. Search by song, album or artist. β–  Your speakers, your groups Every speaker in the home is found on the local network. Volume, mute, equalizer, groups β€” it is all here, including the battery level of portable models. β–  Listening history What you played, when, and on which speaker. Synced through iCloud across your devices, with no account to create. β–  Sonos favorites Your existing favorites appear as they are, and a single star adds one from the player. β–  Sleep timer The speaker's own sleep timer, two taps away instead of buried in a menu. β–  Radio Live radio stations β€” France Inter, FIP, RTL… They play straight on the speaker, without going through Apple Music. β–  On iPhone and iPad A permanent mini player, a full-screen player, and a Home Screen widget showing what is playing. On iPad, the layout takes the room the screen gives it. β–  Control Centre and Siri Add the "Play / Pause" and "Play a favourite" buttons to Control Centre: the speaker responds without opening the app. Siri can do it too β€” "Play on Platine". β–  On Apple Watch as well Playback, volume and next track from your wrist, without taking out your iPhone. An active Apple Music subscription is required. Apple Music must already be linked to your system in the official Sonos app. Platine is an independent app published by DAMDAM. It is neither affiliated with nor endorsed or sponsored by Sonos, Inc. or Apple Inc.
