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—to view the latest list, visit our website at www.sonos.com/music. For
information about using a specific
music service, go to http://faq.sonos.com/musicservices.
You can associate up to 32 music service accounts with your Sonos system. Each Sonos controller can have a unique music
service account associated with it so that every
one gets their own custom music experience. For example, you can use your
Pandora account (with your radio stations and preferences) on your mobile device and your son can use his Pandora account
(with his radio stations and preferences) on his device.
When you add a music service account to a Sonos controller, it becomes the default account for that device. You can switch
between accounts by changing the default account for a controller at any time. See "Changing the default music service
account" on page 2-7 for more information. Pandora features, such as the ability to like tracks, are only available on the
controller that started the playback so if you start playing a Pandora station on your controller, you are the only one who can
like tracks. For all other services, the options that are available depend on the permissions of the default music service
account. For example, if the default Spotify account on a Sonos controller is the trial version of the service, only certain
options will be available. For more information, go to http://faq.sonos.com/multiaccount.
Note: You can build playlists from multiple music service accounts, but you will not have the
ability to see which account the tracks came from.
• Some music services may not be available in your country. Please check the music service’s website for more
information.
• To activate any of the free music service trials that are included with your Sonos system, your Sonos system must be
registered. If you have not yet registered, go to http://faq.sonos.com/register for help with this step.
