SONOS CONTROL

Music Services

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—to view the latest list, visit our Web site at www.sonos.com/music. For
information about using a specific music service, go to http://faq.sonos.com/musicservices.
You can associate up to 32 music service accounts with your Sonos system. If your Sonos system has multiple accounts for a
music service associated with it, each account (with its unique nickname) appears in the Music menu on your CONTROL, so
you can choose your personal music service account to get your own custom music experience. For example, you can use
your Pandora account (with your radio stations and preferences) and your son can use his Pandora account (with his radio
stations and preferences).
Pandora features, such as the ability to like tracks, are only available to the account that started the playback. So, if you use
your account to start playing a Pandora station, when you like a track, the preference is applied to your account. For all other
services, the options that are available depend on the permissions available to the music service account. For example, if you
have a trial version of the Spotify music service, only certain options will be available. For more information, go to http://
faq.sonos.com/multiaccount.
Note: You can build playlists from multiple music service accounts, but you will not have the
ability to see which account the tracks came from.
• Some music services may not be available in your country. Please check the music service's Web site for more informa-
