Sonos is one of the most popular systems for streaming music in the home. It can access a wide variety of Internet
radio stations, music subscriptions services, and also your own music on a computer or storage device.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to put your music on a Drobo and
stream it to Sonos. I’m using a Drobo 5N as an example, but you
could also use other network-attached Drobos or even a direct-
attached Drobo connected to a always-on computer in your home
(like a Mac Mini server).
