Hi Neil, Thanks for the answers. I'm doing well with Sonos now and really enjoying using it. Do you have any Nas drives you can recommend as I wouldn't want to get one which had inaccessible software.
Thanks in advance, Louise. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Neil Barnfather - TalkNav Sent: 07 June 2015 16:47 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Sonos questions Louise, Long time no speak, if you’re still living locally and need more help then the below, get in touch and I’ll see if I can help you out. As Sieghard has already answered most of this hopefully you’re already good, but, here’s a quick round up. Shuffle mode for music playback with the iPhone iOS controller is found within the Queue, which is the very last button on the iOS controller for iPhone, bottom right of the screen. Double tap this and at the top there are three options, close the queue, shuffle and repeat. You can also from this menu select by double tapping on it any of the tracks in your queue, you can also, at the bottom of the screen edit the queue, save the queue for future play and other options. The iPad controller for iOS has a few more of the discrete menu controls out on the main interface owing to the greater level of screen relostate available on that platform. Sieghard is correct, when using the stream function from another device to the Sonos system you cannot access music locally stored on other devices with controllers installed to play that music, however, as Sieghard has said, you can have this music on a computer/laptop on your network, which must be left on at all times you want it, and, it must be within a folder that is publicly accessible on the network, the other, better option is a NAS (network attached storage) unit or network hard-drive. These use very little electricity and are an always on solution, this is what I do personally, then anyone using your system can access that music from any controller at any time. Hope that this helps, and, welcome to Sonos!
