What is radio?
Sonos includes a radio guide that provides immediate access to thousands of free Internet radio stations and broadcast
programs. You can easily find Internet radio stations from all over the world—music, news, and variety programming,
including archived shows and podcasts. You can also add your own favorite stations if they use streaming MP3 or WMA
formats (not every radio station provides streams).
What is a music service?
A music service is an online music store or online service that sells audio on a per-song, per audiobook, or subscription basis.
Sonos is compatible with several music services - you can visit our Web site at www.sonos.com/music for the latest list.
What is your local music library?
Your local music library includes digital music located anywhere on your home network such as:
• shared folders on your computer
• shared folders on another computer in your network
• Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices
You can browse your music library in various ways. You can enter search criteria to quickly find a particular music selection, or
you can browse through a category hierarchy to make music selections.
Note: If a computer on your network is turned off or is in standby mode, the music folders
on that computer are unavailable to the Sonos system until the computer is turned back on.
