YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY

Sonos liberates the music that's stored on your computer so you can enjoy it all over the house. Plus, you can connect your CD or MP3 player to Sonos and spread those tunes to every room.

Music stored on your computer

Sonos gives your personal music collection plenty of room to roam. You can store your entire digital music collection (up to 65,000 tracks) on up to 16 PCs, Macs and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices on your home network. Then, Sonos will wirelessly stream all the music you've ripped and downloaded—all over the house. And Sonos supports all the most popular file formats, too. If you haven't gone digital yet, it's easy to rip your CD collection or find a ripping service that will do it for you.

Sonos will play back these popular audio file formats

  • MP3 (compressed)
  • Ogg Vorbis
  • Flac (lossless)
  • WMA (compressed)
  • Audible (format 4)
  • WAV (uncompressed)
  • AAC (MPEG4)
  • Apple Lossless
  • AIFF (uncompressed)

Note: Previously purchased Apple "Fairplay" DRM-protected songs may need to be upgraded. See Apple for details. WMA Lossless format not currently supported.

Music from your favorite audio sources

Want to stream what's playing on your iPhone®, iPad™, or iPod touch® to every room without missing a beat? Simply connect an Apple AirPort Express® to any Sonos ZonePlayer via line-in and experience true multi-room AirPlay.

Got an iPod or iPhone filled with music? Just add the SONOS DOCK to your system and wirelessly play those tunes on Sonos—all over the home.

Have a favorite CD that isn't ripped? No problem. You can connect any external audio source with a line-out jack, like a CD player, to the analog line-in on any ZonePlayer
