Play music stored on your Android device
This article covers how to play music files stored on your Android device to Sonos.
Sonos can’t stream these files directly, but you can play them to your Sonos products using Bluetooth or Line-In. You can also move the files to a streaming service or NAS drive and play them from there instead.
Play using Bluetooth or Line-In
You can use either Bluetooth or Line-In to play music files from your Android device to your Sonos products. Bluetooth allows you to stream your music to your Sonos wirelessly, while Line-In uses a hardwired connection to your Sonos product.
You can learn more about how to use these features in our Bluetooth and Line-In articles.
Move your music to a streaming service or NAS drive
Streaming services
Some services allow you to upload and stream your music online. We support the following services that let you upload your own music. Note that some of these services require a premium subscription to work with Sonos.
Once you’ve uploaded your music to one of these services, the tracks will be accessible through Sonos once you’ve added the service using the Sonos app. See our article on adding music services to get started with using one of the services listed above.
NAS drive
If you have a network-attached storage (NAS) drive on your network, you can move or copy your tracks to the NAS and share them with your Sonos system. Once the NAS music share is set up, you can browse and play that music from the Sonos app on your Android device. See our article on using a NAS drive with Sonos to get started.
