Chapter 4: Macintosh® Desktop Controller
4-3
top Controller software will guide you through the process of enabling it. Your
music files are never copied from their current locations - your folders are simply
shared so they can be accessed by your Sonos Digital Music System.
Once setup is complete, if you purchased a Sonos Controller you can add it to your
music system now.
1. Plug your Sonos Controller into the AC power adapter and follow the on-screen
prompts to add the Controller to your music system. You can use your Controller
while it charges.
2. When you see the message Setup Complete, press the OK button.
Note: Firewall software such as OS X Firewall, Norton Personal Firewall for
Macintosh, or Intego NetBarrier can block the operation of your Sonos Desktop
Controller software. During installation, you may see prompts from your firewall
software indicating that the Sonos application is attempting to perform certain
operations. You should always allow full access to the Sonos application. You
may also be asked to change the settings of your firewall software to ensure that
Windows file sharing is not blocked. See ’Firewall Information’ or go to our Web site
at http://faq.sonos.com/firewall for the latest firewall information.
To add music stored in your Music folder, select In my Music folder, and select Continue.
Click the Lock icon to enter your administrator password. If your computer does not
currently allow Windows Sharing, you will be prompted to enable it.
If you have used iTunes Preferences to change where you store iTunes music, this option
will appear as In my iTunes Music folder instead.
To add music stored elsewhere on your computer, select On my computer or an external
drive connected to my computer, and select Continue. Select Browse to choose a folder,
and then select Continue.
To add music stored on a different computer or a NAS device, select On a networked
device such as a network-attached storage (NAS) device on my network, and select
Continue. Type the path name (\\Name\Sharename, where Name is the network name
for a computer or NAS device, and Sharename is the name of the top level shared
folder.) If this folder is not shared anonymously, type the user name and password of a
user with permission to access this music folder.
