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 2-8).
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.

Sort folders by preference
You can set the sorting preference for music folders that are accessible from your local music library. You can choose to sort
by:
• Track name
• Track number
• Filename
1. Touch to display the SONOS music menu, and then select Settings.
2. Select Manage Music Library -> Sort Folders By.
3. Select your sort order preference (track name, track number or file name).
Compilation albums
If your music collection contains compilations and soundtracks, you may want to group these songs together in your music
library instead of viewing them by individual artist. This means that any artists that appear solely on compilations will not
appear in your Artists list.
Group using iTunes compilations
iTunes normally organizes your iTunes Music folder as [Artist]/[Album]/[Track name]. iTunes has a feature that allows you to
group your compilations albums together. This will organize your compilations and soundtrack albums as [Compilations]/
[Album]/[Track name].
Within iTunes:
1. Mark individual tracks as being part of compilations by highlighting the track and then selecting File -> Get Info.
2. Check the Part of a compilation checkbox.
3. Select View -> Column Browser and select the Group Compilations option. This will group the tracks you’ve marked as
compilations.
Within Sonos:
You can organize your local music library to use this iTunes compilation view.
1. Touch to display the SONOS music menu, and then select Settings.
2. Select Manage Music Library -> Compilation Albums.
3. Select Use iTunes® Compilations.
