Managing Music Folders
The Sonos Multi-Room Music System can play music from any networked computer or
network-attached storage (NAS) device where you have shared music folders. During
the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your shared music
folders. Over time, you may wish to add or remove music folders from this list.
Music folders are indexed by the Sonos Multi-Room Music System so you can view
your music by categories. You can add or remove the shared folders Sonos accesses
music from at any time. You may need to make changes if you add a computer to your
home network, or if you move shared folders from one location to another.
If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply update your music index
to add this music to your library.
To play music from imported playlists, drop the playlist file .PLS, .M3U or .WPL into the
same music folder that you have shared to the Sonos system, update your music index,
and the custom playlists will appear when you select Imported Playlists from the
Music menu.
