Hi MadHousekeeper,


It sounds like you want to know how to play music from your iPad and iPhone on a third-party speaker. While Sonos speakers do not sync with the Apple Music service, as long as it's a compatible speaker, you should be able to use AirPlay to play music on it. First, you may need to pair your device with the speaker: Pair a third-party Bluetooth accessory with your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


"Turn on Bluetooth on your device

Depending on the apps that you're using, you might see an alert that says you need to enable Bluetooth before you can pair an accessory with Bluetooth.

  1. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security and tap Bluetooth.
  2. Turn on Bluetooth for the apps that you want to use.

 

Turn on Bluetooth to pair your device 

Pair your device with a Bluetooth accessory 

  1. On your device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth. Stay on this screen until you complete the steps to pair your accessory.
  2. Place your accessory in discovery mode and wait for it to appear on your device. If you don't see it or aren't sure how to make it discoverable, check the instructions that came with your accessory or contact the manufacturer.
  3. To pair, tap your accessory name when it appears onscreen. You might need to enter the PIN or passcode. If you aren't sure what your PIN or passcode is, check the documentation for your accessory.


After you pair your accessory, you can use it with your device. To pair multiple Bluetooth accessories, repeat these steps. If you have multiple Bluetooth devices paired with your iPhone or iPad, you can choose which audio source you want to use."
