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 folders from this list.
To make changes to your shared folders list, select the Settings menu from a handheld Sonos controller and
then choose one of the following options:
• To add a new music folder to Sonos, select Manage Music Library-> Music Library Setup -> Add New
Share on a handheld controller.
• To remove a music folder, select Manage Music Library-> Music Library Setup. Touch the share you
wish to remove and then select Remove.
The Sonos system indexes your music folders so you can view your music collection by categories (such as
artists, albums, composers, genres, or tracks.) If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply
update your music index to add this music to your Sonos music library.
• To update your music index, touch Settings -> Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now.
• If you’d like your music library to update automatically each day, open the Sonos Controller app on your
Mac or PC. Select Manage -> Music Library Settings and click the Advanced tab. Check Library
Updates and select an update time.
Wireless iTunes playback
You can select and play music and podcasts stored on any iOS device that’s on the same wireless network as
your Sonos products. Playback is perfectly synchronized, in any or every room of your home. Simply choose
On this iPad, On this iPhone, or On this iPod touch from the Sonos app on your iOS device to make audio
selections.
Wireless playback from Android devices
You can select and play music stored on any Android device that’s on the same wireless network as your
Sonos products. Playback is perfectly synchronized, in any or every room of your home. Simply choose On
this Mobile Device from the Sonos app on your Android smartphone or tablet to make audio selections.
Google Play Music (Android devices)
You can play music to your Sonos system directly from the Google Play Music app on any Android device.
This feature is available for both Standard and All Access Google Play Music customers.
To play music directly from the Google Play Music app to your Sonos system, you must have both the Google
Play Music app and the Sonos Controller App installed on your mobile device.
Simply open the Google Play Music app and connect to a Sonos room or room group to start the music.
Note: We recommend using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC to add shared
folders. For more information, please visit our website at
