for more information.) If there is a music service trial visible on the Music Services menu, simply touch it to

Local music library
Sonos can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network
where you have shared music folders (up to 65,000 songs). During the setup process, you are guided through
the process of accessing your local music library (such as your iTunes library). Over time, you may wish to add
or remove folders from this list.
Note: We recommend using the Sonos app for Mac or PC to add shared folders.
For more information, please visit our website at http://faq.sonos.com/manage.
To make changes to your local library using a mobile device, go to Settings and choose one of the following
options:
• To add a music folder, select Music Library Setup and:
• Touch
• Touch Add New Share (Android).
• To remove a music folder, select Music Library Setup and:
• Touch
• Touch the folder and select Remove Share (Android).
Sonos indexes your local music so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums,
composers, genres, or songs.) If you add new music, simply update your music index to add this music to
your Sonos music library.
• To update your music library, select Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now. If you'd like
your music library to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then
select an update time.
