What Doppelgänger does for your Sonos

Try all of it free for 14 days. Afterwards the free mode plays to one room at a time; pricing lists what a licence adds.

RadioTunes premium networks

  • Premium stations on Sonos — play RadioTunes, DI.fm, JazzRadio, ZenRadio, RockRadio and ClassicalRadio in any room, with your own premium subscription (how it works)
  • Add a station by pasting its link from the network's website — Doppelgänger reads the channel and your key from it
  • Your listen key stays on your Mac — stored securely, one key for every network, never shown in full; change it in one place and every station follows
  • Pin them to Home, or add one to your Sonos favourites

These stations live in Doppelgänger. Needs a premium subscription with the network.
Doppelgänger is not affiliated with RadioTunes, DI.fm or AudioAddict.

Custom radio stations

  • Any station by its stream URL — mp3, AAC or .pls, no TuneIn listing needed (how it works)
  • Now-playing text and artwork for the stream
  • Stations panel with sections, drag to reorder, your own artwork
  • Pin them to Home, or add one to your Sonos favourites

Music services

  • Your Sonos services, no second login — the services your Sonos system is already signed in to (see which are supported)
  • Search your music services and your library at once
  • Album and artist pages with play, shuffle and add-to-playlist
  • Play Next from album, playlist and track menus
  • Manage services — see the services your Sonos system uses, and add free services that need no sign-in to Doppelgänger (they are not added to your Sonos system)

Radio

  • Radio services on your Sonos system, such as TuneIn and Sonos Radio
  • Free radio services such as SomaFM or Antenne Bayern — use them from your Sonos system, or add them in Doppelgänger only

Rooms & groups

  • Room sidebar — every room, always visible
  • Group and ungroup rooms
  • Scenes — restore which rooms are grouped and every speaker's volume in one click (how it works)
  • Volume per room and per group, and EQ per speaker (bass, treble, loudness)
  • Pin rooms you use most to the top

Playlists & queue

  • Station to playlist — note the songs of a station or radio mix from your music service as they play, and save the list as a Sonos playlist (not for internet radio, which is one continuous stream; how it works)
  • Add to and remove from Sonos playlists, set playlist covers
  • Queue control — reorder, select several, remove, shuffle, save as a playlist
  • Download the queue as a text file — also the songs noted from a station

Your home screen

  • Pin any album, playlist or station, rename and reorder the shelves
  • Your own artwork — set your own cover image on stations, playlists, folders, favourites and service tiles, even where they already have one. It is shown in Doppelgänger; clear it to get the original back
  • Favourites with sections and source filters
  • Dark and light themes, accent colour, list or grid views

Everyday

  • Now Playing with synced lyrics
  • Colours from the album art — Now Playing and the playing room card take on the colours of the cover; you choose how strong
  • Alarms — create and edit your Sonos alarms: time, room, music, volume and repeat (how it works)
  • Sleep timer — stop the music after a set time (how it works)
  • Music library folders shared on your Sonos system
  • Backup and transfer — export your settings, stations, home screen and artwork to one file, and import it on another Mac or after a reinstall. Sign-in details are not included
  • Diagnostics for bug reports

How does it compare with Sonos's own Mac app, the web app and AirPlay?
