Sonos App Tour
The Sonos app is a crucial part of your Sonos experience. Here, you can stream music from your favourite music streaming services, save favourites, group or ungroup rooms, search for new content and customise your Sonos system.
There are 5 main screens for the Sonos app, comprising of My Sonos, Browse, System, Search and Settings. Let’s cover each one in more detail.
My Sonos:
Think of this page as your Sonos homepage where you can save all of your favourite playlists, radio stations, artists, tracks and more for quick access to the content you love.
Rearrange and re-order the categories to your heart’s content using the Edit button.
The Recently Played section at the top will save all of the content you’ve recently listened to for quick access.
Browse:
Here is where you can access all of your music streaming service accounts and stream from them. The service will be tailored to you and will understand what you like to listen to over time.
Sonos Radio can also be accessed here which is an exclusive and free service to Sonos which includes a variety of collated playlists, exclusive content and more (HD paid version available).
Tip: Music can also be started on your Sonos speakers using Apple AirPlay 2 [Link to AirPlay 2 Doc] and in the case of Spotify, music can be started from within the Spotify app.
System:
This screen contains all of your Sonos rooms and is where you will go to group or ungroup your rooms. This can be done at any time. Try grouping all of your rooms together using the Everywhere function or set up your own group of rooms e.g. downstairs.
Tip: From this screen, you can also set up an alarm to start music on a room (or group of rooms) at a specified time.
