These are the services that work with sonos; I think pretty much all services work with your other devices.

I've only used services on the PC and have tried Spotify, Deezer, Rdio and Napster. And I'm currently trialling the free three month apple music trial, which according to this will eventually be coming to sonos:

Using these services will be different on a device rather than a PC, so it's probably worth trialling them all.

On the PC side, I think Spotify is best (providing you fix it so that you are using an earlier version of the software than the abomination they released a few months ago). Deezer lacks a PC client and is web only and in Napster and Rdio, I can't find a way to sort playlists. Apple music could be promising (much as I hate to admit it ) but still early days of playing.

Hopefully you will get a similar deal when the subscription ends and you can have a good look at alternatives others may suggest for you

Edit

Spotify is the same price as Deezer too and offers pretty much the same stuff.
I got the same three months 99p Deezer offer recently and took it based on this:

Apparently, that's been saying, 'in a few days' for months!
