How can I add the music stored on my iPhone to my Play5 sonos?  I have pandora and Apple Music but want to select from library stores in my phone.

Hi @Mbradley 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

The only ways to play music stored on your iPhone on your Sonos speakers is to use AirPlay 2 (with a compatible speaker) or use Bluetooth (also with a compatible Sonos speaker).

You should be able to upload your music to Apple Music and then stream it directly to your Sonos speakers, however - this would result in less battery drain for your iPhone while playing.

I hope this helps.

You haven't been able to play music stored on an iPhone for years.  Apple killed that function back in 2019.
