Google Play Music
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. Sonos playback from Google Play Music is compatible with
Sonos software update 4.3 and higher, and with any device running Android 2.3 and higher.
Simply open the Google Play Music app and connect to a Sonos room or room group to start the music. When you are
finished, disconnect the Sonos room from the app.
Managing Your 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 music folders from this list.
Once you’ve set up your local music library, you can play selections from it by touching to display the SONOS
music menu, and then
selecting Music Library.
Note: If you have uncompressed WAV or AIFF files in your music collection, they may only
appear under Tracks or Folders in your music library as uncompressed files may not contain
detailed information such as artist, title and genre.
Adding a shared folder
Note: We recommend using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC to add shared folders. For
more information, please visit our website at http://faq.sonos.com/manage.
To make another shared folder available to your Sonos system:
1. Touch to display the SONOS music menu., and then select Settings.
2. Select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
3. Touch Add New Share.
