Windows® Desktop Controller
The Desktop Controller software is compatible with Windows Vista™ and Windows® XP,
including Windows XP® Media Center operating systems. (You can visit our Web site at
http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest system requirements and compatible audio
formats.)
For easy setup, you should install the Desktop Controller (DCR) for Windows
software on every Windows computer in your network that contains music files.
However, if you wish to access music stored on a computer where file sharing is not
enabled and the Desktop Controller software is not installed, you can go to our Web
site at http://faq.sonos.com/sharing for assistance.
If you have recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista and you are
experiencing problems, see I’ve recently upgraded to Windows Vista and my music
doesn’t play.
