As more of our clients upgrade to Sonos , we want to be sure everyone is getting the most out of their system. Did you know that in addition to Sonos Radio, Sonos supports over 130 different music services? It’s a great opportunity to explore new music and discover services you may not have used before. Adding music services to the Sonos app is quick and easy and very similar to adding music stored on your computer, which we recently discussed.   How to Add a Music Service to

We’re often called out to homes where clients say, “My internet is fast, but my Wi-Fi isn’t reliable.” That’s an important distinction because Wi-Fi performance is affected by much more than just your internet speed. Here are some of the most common factors that can impact how well your Wi-Fi network performs throughout your home:   1. Distance from the Router The farther you are from your router, the weaker the Wi-Fi signal becomes. Speeds are always strongest close to the r

As more clients move from older Bose systems to Sonos , one of the most common questions we hear is whether Sonos can play music that’s already stored on a computer or external hard drive .

That means if you’re logged into Pandora with one acco

As we kick off the New Year, we’re hearing from a lot of clients who are new to Sonos  and want to explore everything their system can do especially when it comes to music streaming.

If you’d like to see the full list of supported services, you can find

When we’re upgrading someone to a new Sonos system , one of the first questions we always ask is: “How is your internet service?” The most common answer we hear is, “It’s great—we have the top service.” Unfortunately, when we actually test the internet speed, we sometimes find that it’s much slower than what the client is paying for . The good news? It’s very easy to check your internet speed yourself. How to Check Your Internet Speed On your phone, open a browser and Google

This week’s question came from a client who said, “I love my Sonos system, but how do I make my own playlist in the Sonos app?” It’s a great question—because the Sonos app works a little differently than traditional music apps. Sonos doesn’t create playlists inside the app the way Spotify or Apple Music does. Instead, you can create what Sonos calls a Sonos Playlist, or you can play playlists that already exist in your streaming services. Here are the ways to build your own p
