What is radio?
Sonos includes a radio guide that provides immediate access to thousands of free Internet radio stations and broadcast
programs. You can easily find Internet radio stations from all over the world—music, news, and variety programming,
including archived shows and podcasts. You can also add your own favorite stations if they use streaming MP3 or WMA
formats (not every radio station provides streams).
What is a music service?
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 - you can visit our website at
www.sonos.com/music for the latest list.
What is wireless iTunes playback from iOS devices?
Wireless iTunes playback allows you to select and play music and podcasts stored on any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that’s on
the same network as your Sonos products. Once you make an audio selection from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can
use any Sonos Controller App to control playback. Playback is perfectly synchronized, in any or every room of your home.
