What is a music queue?
When you make music selections, they are added to a list of tracks called a
music queue
. You can create a different music
queue for each room in your house, or you can create a zone group and play the same music across multiple rooms. A play
indicator appears to the left of the track currently playing in the music queue. When the current track ends, the next track in
the queue starts to play, and play continues down through the list until the queue is completed. When you add selections to
a queue, you can choose to play them now, play them next, add them to the end of the queue, or play them now and clear the
queue of previous music selections.
What is a music service?
A music service is an online music store or online service that sells audio on a per-song, per-audiobook, or subscription basis.
What is a Sonos playlist?
A Sonos playlist is a music queue you create and then save for future listening. For example, you might want to create a
jazz
playlist, a
party
playlist, or an
easy listening
playlist.
What is radio?
Internet radio stations and radio shows are broadcasts provided by 3rd parties via the Internet. You can choose from
thousands of radio stations and radio shows from around the globe, including archived shows and podcasts. You can also add
your own favorite stations if they use streaming MP3 or WMA formats (not every radio station provides streams).
What is Line-in?
You can connect an external line-in source such as a CD player, portable music player, or television to your Sonos system, and
this audio can be streamed to any Sonos components (PLAY:5, CONNECT, or CONECT:AMP) in your house.
