Stitcher Radio on Sonos / Using Facebook Credentials

I love my sonos.  In short, Sonos, along with iPhone and MBP are the only pieces of high-end consumer technology I use every day.  Unfortunately adding new services can often be tricky.  This is mostly the responsibility of Sonos, but also of the third-party providers a bit as well.  

  When integrating Stitcher to your Sonos, Sonos will ask for your Stitcher credentials.  Like most people, if you use Facebook authentication, there is an immediate bug in the UX flow.  You may try to enter your Facebook credentials (probably a bad idea already), but you already have a gut feeling that won’t work (which is confirmed shortly thereafter).

  In this case, the solution isn’t so bad.  Go to Stitcher’s beta online player at http://app.stitcher.com/  Make sure your account is authenticated through Facebook.  Now you can change the Stitcher password associated to your Facebook account.  In Sonos, use your Facebook email address and the new password you entered into Stitcher.

Enjoy a house full of podcast.
