What is your local music library?
Your local music library includes digital music located anywhere on your home network such as:
• shared folders on your computer
• shared folders on another computer in your network
• Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices
You can browse your music library in various ways. You can enter search criteria to quickly find a particular music selection, or
you can browse through a category hierarchy to make music selections.
Note: If a computer on your network is turned off or is in standby mode, the music folders on
that computer are unavailable to the Sonos system until the computer is turned back on.
Your choices include:
• Artists
• Albums
•Composers
•Genres
• Tracks
• Imported playlists
•Search
• Folders
What is 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’ve added a favorite, it appears under Sonos Favorites on the SONOS music menu.
What is a Sonos playlist?
A Sonos playlist is a music queue you create and then save for future listening. For example, you might want to create a jazz
playlist, a party playlist, or an easy listening playlist.
What is Line-in?
You can connect an external line-in source such as a CD player, portable music player, or television to your Sonos system, and
this audio can be streamed to any Sonos players (PLAY:5, CONNECT, or CONECT:AMP) in your house. For more information on
setting up and using line-in, see the SONOS System Setup Guide.
What is Windows Media Player
If you have Windows Media Player on your computer, you will need to turn on media sharing in Windows Media Player so that
the Sonos system can access the music stored in your WMP library. When media sharing is turned on, Sonos can play all the
music in your WMP library, including any DRM-free songs you’ve downloaded from a music service.
