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—visit our website at
www.sonos.com/music for the latest list. (Some music services may not be available in your country. Please
check the individual music service’s website for more information.)
If you are currently subscribed to a music service that’s compatible with Sonos, simply add your music service
user name and password information to Sonos and you’ll have instant access to the music service from your
Sonos system.
1. To add a music service, select Add Music Services from the music menu.
2. Select the music service you would like to add.
3. Select I already have an account. Type your music service user name and password. Your user name
and password will be verified with the music service.
As soon as your credentials have been verified, the music service displays on the music menu.
Free music service trials are available in some countries. (Please check the individual music service’s website
for more information.) If there is a music service trial visible on the Music Services menu, simply touch it to
select. After the trial period is up, you will need to subscribe to the music service to keep the music playing.
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). Your local music is indexed so you
can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums, composers, genres, or tracks). Over
time, you may wish to make changes to your local library. If you add new music, simply update your music
index to add this music to your Sonos music library.
