Local music library
Sonos can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network
where you have shared music folders (up to 65,000 songs). 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 folders from this list.
To make changes to your local library using a mobile device, go to Settings and choose one of the following
options:
• To add a music folder, select Music Library Setup and:
•Touch -> Add New Share (iOS).
•Touch Add New Share (Android).
• To remove a music folder, select Music Library Setup and:
•Touch next to the folder you wish to remove (iOS).
• Touch the folder and select Remove Share (Android).
Sonos indexes your local music so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums,
composers, genres, or songs.) If you add new music, simply update your music index to add this music to
your Sonos music library.
• To update your music library, select Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now. If you’d like
your music library to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then
select an update time.
Playing music from your mobile device
You can play music and podcasts stored on any mobile device that’s on the same network as Sonos. Just
choose On this [mobile device] from the Menu.
Google Play Music (Android devices)
You can play music to Sonos 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 Sonos , you must have both the Google Play Music
app and the Sonos app installed on your mobile device.
Simply open the Google Play Music app and connect to a Sonos room or room group to start the music.
Control Sonos from your Spotify app
You can always play Spotify from the Sonos app. Now you can control Sonos directly from your Spotify app
too (Spotify premium subscribers only).
While you’re listening to music in the Spotify app, select DEVICES AVAILABLE to connect to a Sonos room
or room group.
Note: We recommend using the Sonos app for Mac or PC to add shared folders.
