What is Sonos Favorites?
Sonos Favorites gives you quick and easy access to the music you love the most. You can add audio selections to Sonos
Favorites from any controller. Once you’ve added a favorite, it appears under
Sonos Favorites
on the
Music
menu.
What is your local music library?
Your local 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
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.
