Play Music; Voice Commands - Sonos S19 User Manual

SONOS USER GUIDE

Play music

You can get the music playing on Sonos a number of ways—choose whichever control works best in the
moment. Use the Sonos app, your own music service app, ask Alexa, or use AirPlay to stream audio to
Sonos. If you're near a speaker, use the controls on your speaker to resume an earlier listening session or
change the song.
If you want to change where the music is playing, see Play music anywhere.
Note: When Sonos has been inactive for awhile, you'll be asked to choose the room where you want music to
play. If you don't want to choose a room each time, go to Settings > Advanced Settings and turn off
Confirm Location.
The Sonos app
The free Sonos app is the easiest way to play anything and everything on Sonos. Simply open the app, tap
and choose from the list of Music sources.
If you don't have the Sonos app, download it from the app store. To learn more about how the app works, see
The Sonos app.

Voice commands

If you have a Sonos One, Beam, S17, or Alexa device, you can use your voice to play and control the music.
Ask Alexa to play your favorite radio station or the top hits on Spotify.
To use Alexa with Sonos, you'll need the Alexa app with the Sonos skill enabled—if you don't have it, go to
Add a voice service and we'll guide you through setup.
Note: Over time we'll add more voice services and skills. Voice control isn't supported in every country yet—
this feature will be available as soon as Sonos and a voice service launch together in your region.
Controls on the speaker
If you're near a speaker, you can use the speaker controls to adjust volume, stop the music, or change the
song.
