Hi Sieghard,
You say:
"You can also configure Sonos to auto detect when you plug something in and
to automatically play this source"
I'm not sure I'd do this but hadn't seen that setting anywhere and am ever
curious. Can you point me to where it resides in the settings area just out
of curiosity?
thanks as always for teaching me something new; and yay for Sonos
functionality. It never ceases to amaze and make me smile.
Robin

Hi Joe,
That depends which player you have. If it's a Play 1 or Play 3 then the
answer is no since they don't have an input jack. If it's a Play 5 then as
Robin said, you could use a 3.5mm male to male cord to connect the headphone
jack of the iPhone to the 3.5mm input on the Play 5. Of course you would
have to first open the Sonos controller on your phone and select to play
from the Line-In port because otherwise as soon as you plug in the cord into
the headset jack you wouldn't hear Voiceover any more. You can also
configure Sonos to auto detect when you plug something in and to
automatically play this source which is an even better way to do this. The
two other players in the Sonos line which have inputs are the Connect and
Connect Amp which both have RCA type inputs so you need a 3.5mm male to RCA
male cable (the one with the red/white ends).
Regards,
Sieghard

Excellent, thanks for the clarification. Now, would it be possible for the
Sonos speaker to act as a standard speaker whereby it amplifies anything
from the iPhone, regular Voiceover speech and such?

Hi Joe,
Are you referring to music when you say "personal content" or do you mean
things like audio books or podcasts you may have saved in MP3 format? As
Robin pointed out, you can link to a music library and this can contain
really anything in MP3 or AAC format (Sonos also supports other formats such
as FLAC etc.). There is also an option to play content from "On this iPhone"
and this would be anything you sync to your phone and that is accessible to
the music app.
Which player do you have? The Play 5 also has the ability to hook up any
device which has a 3.5mm or RCA output.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hello,
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to play my own content on Sonos? I've
got one of their speakers but only found the means to play Internet content.
Yet, this must surely be idiot user error. Thanks in advance for some tips
on setting me straight.
Joe
