What is your music library?
Your music library includes digital music located anywhere on your home network such as:
• shared folders on your computer
• shared folders on another computer in your network
• Network-Attached Storage (NAS) devices
You can browse your music library in various ways. You can enter search criteria to quickly find a particular music selection, or
you can browse through a category hierarchy to make music selections.
Your choices include:
• Artists
• Albums
• Composers
• Genres
• Tracks
• Imported playlists
• Search
• Folders
You can manage your music library from the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC. For information on managing your music library,
start the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC, and select
Sonos System Help
from the
Help
menu.
Note:
If a computer on your network is turned off or is in
standby
mode, the music folders on
that computer are unavailable to the Sonos system until the computer is turned back on.
