What is a music queue?
When you select tracks, they are added to a list called a music queue. You can create a different queue for each room in your
home, or you can group rooms together to play the same audio. Tracks in the queue will play in order unless you turn on
shuffle and/or repeat.
When you add tracks to the queue, you can choose Play Now, Play Next, Add to (end of) Queue, or Replace Queue.
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 a Sonos playlist?
A Sonos playlist is a music queue you create and then save for future listening. For example, you might want to create a jazz
playlist, a party playlist, or an easy listening playlist.
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 Line-in?
You can connect an external source like a CD player, portable music player, television, or AirPlay device to your Sonos system,
and stream the audio to any or all Sonos components (PLAY:5, CONNECT, or CONECT:AMP) around your house.
