Imported playlists
The Sonos system is compatible with iTunes playlists (including Genius Mixes) as well as M3U, WPL and PLS playlist files
created with third-party software (for example, iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, and so on). The Sonos system does
not change music or playlist files created by other applications; these files are always treated as “read-only.”
To play music from imported playlists, drop the playlist file .PLS, .M3U or .WPL into the same music folder you have shared to
the Sonos system, update your music index, and the custom playlists appear when you select Music Library -> Imported
Playlists from the Music menu. See "Updating the music index" on page 17 for additional information.
iTunes support
You can view your iTunes playlists in the Sonos system by selecting Music Library -> Imported Playlists from the Music
menu.
When you make changes to your iTunes playlist(s), exit iTunes, and then update your Sonos music index to see the changes
(see "Updating the music index" on page 17).
iTunes playlists are automatically imported into the Imported Playlists menu as long as your 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file is
shared along with your music to the Sonos system. For typical iTunes installations, this file is located in the iTunes folder.
Sonos is unable to play tracks that are protected by Apple's proprietary Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme.

Sonos Favorites
Sonos Favorites gives you quick and easy access to the music you love the most. You can add audio selections to your Sonos
Favorites from any controller. Once you create a Favorite, it appears under Sonos Favorites on the MUSIC menu.
Adding a Sonos Favorite
1. From the MUSIC menu, browse to find the selection you want to add to your Sonos Favorites.
Note: If you have uncompressed WAV or AIFF files in your music collection, they may only be
available for browsing and/or selection via Tracks or Folders, as uncompressed files may not
contain detailed information such as artist, title and genre.
Note: Audio from docked iPods, wireless playback from iOS and Android devices, and line-in
sources cannot be added to Sonos Favorites since these music sources may not always be
available to your Sonos system.
Note: Sonos Playlists can’t be added to Sonos Favorites using the CONTROL. Use a different
controller if you want to do this.
