Resetting music library permissions on a PC
Some music services may automatically change the permissions on your music folders when you add music, so that Sonos
can no longer access your music. If your music service does this, you can change the preference setting to allow Sonos to
reset permissions when your music index is updated. You should not set this preference unless you need to, as it takes longer
to update your music index when this box is checked.
1. From the Manage menu, select Music Library Settings.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Check the Fix permissions on music files so that Sonos can always access them box.
Windows Sharing on a Mac
Depending upon where your music is stored, you may be asked to provide an administrator name and password to allow
access to your music folders.
If your Macintosh computer does not have Windows Sharing enabled, the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC will guide you
through the process of enabling it. Your music files are never copied from their current locations - your folders are simply
shared so they can be accessed by your Sonos system.
Scheduling music index updates
You can set your music system to automatically update your music index at the same time each day.
1. From the Manage menu, select Music Library Settings.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Check the Update content every day at box, and then select the time of day you would like your music index to
automatically update.
