Your Music Collection
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)
- WMA (compressed)
- AAC (MPEG4)
- iTunes
- Ogg Vorbis
- Audible (format 4)
- Apple Lossless
- Flac (lossless)
- WAV (uncompressed)
- 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 listen to the music that's on your friend's iPod? Have a favorite CD that isn't ripped? It's a breeze with Sonos because we added analog line-in jacks to the back of every ZonePlayer. Simply connect any external audio source with a line-out jack to any ZonePlayer and you can play all that music (or audio) in every room. Now grab your Controller, select Line-In Sources from your Music Menu and everything is ready to play.
