Adding a shared folder
To make another shared folder available to your Sonos system:
1. From the Music menu, select Settings -> Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
2. Touch Add New Share.
3. Choose one of the following options:
• Select Scan my network for shares to automatically scan for shared folders that are not currently being accessed.
• Touch to select a folder from the displayed list.
• If the folder does not require a user name and password, touch OK.
• If the folder does require a username and password, use the keyboard to type them, and then touch OK.
• Select Enter the location of a share if you prefer to enter the path.
• Use the keyboard to type the path name for the share (path example: \\Name\Sharename, where Name is the net-
work name for your computer or NAS device, and Sharename is the name of the top level shared folder, such as
\\linkstation\music_share).
• If the folder does not require a user name and password, touch OK.
• If the folder does require a username and password, use the keyboard to type them, and then touch OK.
Viewing shared folders
From the Settings menu, select Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
The shared music folders that are currently accessible to your Sonos system are displayed. (If a computer on your network is
turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the music on that computer will be unavailable to the Sonos system until the
computer is turned back on.)
Stop accessing a shared folder
1. From the Music menu, select Settings -> Manage Music Library -> Music Library Setup.
The shared music folders that are currently accessible to your Sonos system are displayed.
2. Select the folder you wish to stop using, and touch Remove. Your music folder will remain untouched on your computer,
but you will no longer be able to access it from the Sonos system.
Updating the music index
The Sonos system indexes your local music so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums,
composers, genres, or tracks.) During setup, all of your available music folders are indexed for easy selection. If you add new
music, simply update your music index to add this music to your Sonos music library.
1. From the Music menu, touch Settings.
2. Select Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now.
3. Select Scan Now.
The message, “updating music index” appears. When the message disappears, your new music is available.
