Music library on a Mac, PC, or NAS drive

If you’re able to store your music on a Mac, PC, or a network-attached storage (NAS) drive, you can share it to Sonos using the Sonos app for macOS or Windows. Once your music library is set up you can browse and play that music from the Sonos app on your iOS device. See our article on setting up a music library to get started.
