Sonos will release a free software update later this month that will enable users of the multi-room wireless music system to stream songs via Spotify.

Spotify will be available for Sonos in Finland, France, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the U.K. Users will require a premium Spotify account, which costs ?9.99 ($15.36) a month in the U.K.

"Spotify on Sonos has been the number one request from our European customers and we're thrilled to deliver it," said John MacFarlane, founder and CEO Sonos, in a statement. "Our mission at Sonos is to play all the music on the planet, all over the house. By partnering with a leading music streaming service like Spotify, we can now offer more of our customers the ultimate jukebox experience at home."

Santa Barbara, California-based Sonos has already partnered with music services including Deezer, Last.fm, Napster, Pandora, Rhapsody and Wolfgang's Vault.
