Managing Your Local Music Library
The Sonos system can play music from any computer or Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device on your home network
where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your local
music library (such as your iTunes library). Over time, you may wish to add or remove music folders from this list.
Once you’ve set up your local music library, you can play selections from it by touching
to display the
SONOS
music menu, and then selecting
Music Library
.
