Managing Your 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). Over time, you may wish to add or remove music folders from this list.
Once you've set up your local music library, you can play selections from it by touching
music menu, and then selecting Music Library.
Note: If you have uncompressed WAV or AIFF files in your music collection, they may only
appear under Tracks or Folders in your music library as uncompressed files may not contain
detailed information such as artist, title and genre.
Adding a shared folder
Note: We recommend using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC to add shared folders. For
more information, please visit our website at http://faq.sonos.com/manage.
To make another shared folder available to your Sonos system:
Touch to display the SONOS music menu, and then select Settings.
1.
Select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
2.
Touch -> Add New Share.
3.
Enter the path for the shared folder (example: \\computer\sharename, where computer is the network name for your

computer or NAS device, and sharename is the name of the top level shared folder, such as \\linkstation\music_share).

computer is turned back on.)
