Not sure, if I go to Add Music Services, I have Audible in my list just before AudioBooks.com. You might want to call Sonos and talk to support, they are very helpful. Their toll free number is 800-680-2345.

When I select them, I get a screen that says that Sonos needs to be authorized by my amazon account. When I press next, I am just returned to the now playing screen in the Audible iOS app. I cannot get this authorization to happen. I have both my Sonos system and Audible app up-to-date. I also do not see Audible in my list of possible Sonos music services. Amy ideas?

I was both on the Sonos and most recent Audible beta so I had this for a bit, but today the puglic Audible update showed up for me so anybody should be able to get this now or will very shortly. So, what am I talking about? Well, you can now select and play to any of your Sonos speakers right from the Audible app. Just above or, for those who swipe, one swipe left from the “Jump Back” button is now a “Connect to a device” button. If you activate this button you find a “Close” button at the top left, to the right of that the heading “Connect to a device”. After that you find “This device” which of course refers to your iPhone. Following this is a list of all your Sonos speakers and simply double tapping on any of those will start playing your book on the selected Sonos speaker. There is also an “Edit” button to the right of each of the speakers, if you tap on any of those you will be asked if you want to open the Sonos app. This would be if you want to do more advanced things like grouping two or more speakers etc. A few restrictions exist, however. If you tap on a Sonos speaker you will get a message pop-up which tells you that features such as changing narration speed, sleep timers and bookmarks are not available on Sonos. I think this might be temporary. Also, you may experience that Voiceover volume drops as soon as you select a Sonos speaker. If so just push the volume up button a few times and it will come back up, it doesn’t seem to go to 0, but it becomes a lot quieter. I had already reported this to Audible during the beta, hopefully if a few others do the same now they’ll fix this. Of course you can also access your Audible library from the Sonos app directly. First you have to of course add Audible and sign in just like with any other music service, but once you do this Audible is an option just as Apple Music, Spotify, Tune In or whatever other music services you are using on Sonos. I do, however, prefer to play to Sonos via the Audible app instead of playing my Audible book via the Sonos app. Of course if you play via the Sonos app you are not using up your iPhone battery because once the book plays you could actually turn off your iPhone and it would still continue to play. Lastly for Amazon Echo owners you could of course connect an Echo Dot to your Sonos system if you have a player with a line-in port and then simply tell Alexa to play whatever book you want. I assume if you have a Sonos 1 smart speaker that it by itself is capable of playing your Audible library. So many options nowadays, but of course that is a good thing.
