Music folders
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
shared music folders (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.
• To remove a music folder, select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup. Touch the share you wish to remove
and then select Remove Share.
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, select Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now. If you’d like your music index
to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then select a music index update time.
Using Headphones
The SONOS PLAY:5 has a headphone jack you can utilize for private listening. The headphone jack is auto detecting—plug in
a pair of headphones and the PLAY:5’s built-in speakers automatically mute. When you unplug the headphones, the speakers
automatically come back on.
When headphones are plugged in, a headphone icon is visible on the Volume screen of a Sonos controller.
Note: If you don’t hear sound coming from your PLAY:5, check to make sure there are no
headphones plugged into the back of the unit.
