Sonos + Spotify have an option to add multiple Spotify accounts for your Sonos system. You can pick what Spotify account is used when opening the Sonos APP. But I actually found it even better to put a dedicated Spotify account on your Sonos system (if you have extra from your family plan). My current setup has Sonos (Play 1's, 5's and Playbar) in three rooms of my house all using my accounts for Spotify, Youtube Music, Alexa etc. My daughter uses a Amazon Echo in her bedroom which is setup with her own Amazon account and her own Spotify account (via Spotify family). One of the oldest complaints of the Spotify service is that the the client doesn’t let you share your premium account or play music off multiple devices. It's time to change that.

- The Spotify app opens on your phone and passes your login details to the Sonos app. After a few seconds, the Sonos app opens back up again, and you can type a name for your Spotify account. Note that this name will only be put into use if you add additional Spotify accounts to the Sonos app. Name your account, and then tap the “Done” button.
-- The payment method for my Spotify premium service expired and I didn't change it because I just want the free Spotify version. Now I'm trying to play my Spotify playlist in the Sonos app. It keeps saying...
'Spotify on Sonos requires a Spotify Premium Account. Upgrade at...'
