As soon as your credentials have been verified, the music service displays on the 
Music Menu.
Free music service trials are available in some countries. (Please check the individual music service’s Web site for more 
information.) If there is a music service trial visible on your 
More Music menu, simply touch it to select. Touch I’m new to 
[music service], and then follow the prompts to activate the music trial. After the trial period is up, you will need to 
subscribe to the music service to keep the music playing.
Music folders
The Sonos system can play music from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your home network 
where you have shared music folders. During the setup process, you are guided through the process of accessing your 
shared music folders (such as your iTunes library.) 
To make changes to your shared folders list, select the 
Settings menu from a handheld Sonos controller and then choose 
one of the following options:
• To add a new music folder to Sonos, select 
Music Library Management -> Music Library Setup -> Add New Share.
• To remove a music folder, select 
Music Library Management -> Music Library Setup. Touch the share you wish to 
remove and then select Remove Share
The Sonos system indexes your music folders so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums, 
composers, genres, or tracks.) If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply update your music index to 
add this music to your Sonos music library.
• To update your music index, 
select 
Music Library Management -> Update Music Index Now from the Settings menu. 
If you’d like your music index to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then select 
a music index update time.
