Using The Desktop Controller For Windows - Sonos Digital Music System User Manual

Chapter 4: Managing and Playing Music
These music folders are indexed by the Sonos Digital Music System so that you can
view your music by categories. You can add or remove the shared folders Sonos
accesses music from at any time. You may need to make changes if you add a
computer to your home network, or if you move shared folders from one location to
another.
If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply update your music index
to add this music to your library.
To play music from imported playlists, drop the playlist file .PLS, .M3U or .WPL into the
same music folder that you have shared to the Sonos system, update your music index,
and the custom playlists will appear when you select Imported Playlists from the
Music menu.
