Step 4: Play Music
You can use any Sonos controller to make music selections—choose a music source from the Sonos music menu on a
handheld controller, or from the MUSIC pane if you are using the Sonos Controller App for Mac or PC.
Radio
Sonos includes a radio guide that provides immediate access to thousands of free Internet radio stations and broadcast
programs. You can easily find radio stations from all over the world—music, news, and variety programming, including
archived shows and podcasts.
To select a radio station, simply select Radio and choose a station.
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—visit our Web site at www.sonos.com/howitworks/music/partners for the
latest list. (Some music services may not be available in your country. Please check the individual music service's Web site for
more information.)
If you are currently subscribed to a music service that's compatible with Sonos, simply add your music service user name and
password information to Sonos and you'll have instant access to the music service from your Sonos system.
To add a music service, select Add Music Services from the music menu.
1.
Select the music service you would like to add.
2.
Select I already have an account. Type your music service user name and password. Your user name and password will
3.
be verified with the music service.
As soon as your credentials have been verified, the music service displays on the music menu.
Free music service trials are available in some countries. (Please check the individual music service's Web site for more
information.) If there is a music service trial visible on the Music Services menu, simply touch it to select. Touch Add
Account -> I'm new to [music service], and then follow the prompts to activate the music trial. After the trial period is up,
you will need to subscribe to the music service to keep the music playing.
Local music library
The Sonos system can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network
where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your local
music library (such as your iTunes library). Your local music is indexed so you can view your music collection by categories
(such as artists, albums, composers, genres, or tracks). Over time, you may wish to make changes to your local library. If you
add new music, simply update your music index to add this music to your Sonos music library.
Using the Sonos Controller App for Mac or PC
Select Manage -> Music Library Settings.
1.
Choose one of the following options:
2.
• To add a new music folder, select Add (PC) or + (Mac).
• To remove a music folder, select Remove (PC) or - (Mac).
• To schedule automatic music library updates, click the Advanced tab and then select an update time.
