Updating your music index
If you add new music to a music folder that is already indexed, you can update your music index in order to add this music to
your library.
From the Music menu, select Update Music Index Now.
1.
Click Yes (PC) or Update (Mac) to confirm.
2.
The message, "Updating Music Index" appears at the bottom of the screen. When the update is complete, the message
disappears.
Resetting music library permissions on a PC
Some music services may automatically change the permissions on your music folders when you add new music, so that
Sonos can no longer access your music. If your music service does this, you can change the preference setting below to allow
Sonos to reset permissions when your music index is updated. You should not set this preference unless you need to, as it
takes longer to update your music index when this box is checked.
From the File menu, select Preferences.
1.
Click the Advanced tab.
2.
Check the Fix Permissions when updating the music index on this computer box, and click OK.
3.
Windows Sharing on a Mac
Depending upon where your music is stored, you may be asked to provide an administrator name and password to allow
access to your music folders.
If your Macintosh computer does not have Windows Sharing enabled, the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC will guide you
through the process of enabling it. Your music files are never copied from their current locations - your folders are simply
shared so they can be accessed by your Sonos system.
Scheduling music index updates
You can set your music system to automatically update your music index at the same time each day.
From the Music menu, select Schedule Music Index Updates.
1.
Select the time you would like your music index to automatically update, and click OK.
