Add Itunes Library To Sonos Mac

Hi JBCinSD,

I understand you would like to play your iTunes Library playlists through your Sonos system. I found this resource from Sonos that explains how to do it.

Sonos makes it easy to stream your music library from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your network throughout your home. Add your music from up to 16 different computers in a matter of minutes.


SUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL! Amazon Prime Video 30 day free trial! Open the Sonos app for macOS or Windows. From the Manage menu, select Music Library Settings. Click + (plus) on macOS, or Add if you are using Windows. If you use iTunes or are not sure where your music is stored, select My Music folder. How to change your Apple ID depends on whether you’re using an Apple-based email address such as @mac.com, @me.com, or @icloud.com, or a third-party email. Using an Apple Email. If your current Apple ID is tied to an Apple email, following these steps. Go to appleid.apple.com and sign in through a web browser on your Mac or PC.

While it's possible to add your music library using a mobile controller, it's best to use a Mac or Windows computer as it will automatically adjust the necessary settings. The following instructions apply to the Sonos Desktop Controller App for Mac or PC.


Before you begin, make sure you download the Sonos Desktop Controller App for Mac or PC and install it on the computer that contains your music library files.

  4. Type in your computer's password if prompted and follow the on-screen instructions to complete adding your music library. Depending on the size of your music library it may take up to 15 minutes to index.


Updating the music library index

Whenever you make changes to your music library, such as adding and removing tracks, creating new playlists, or adjusting album artwork, you will need to update the music index on Sonos before these changes will show up in the Sonos controller.
