I currently have a Play 5 (Gen 1) and just use it to stream music from my Sonos app. But I would like to connect BOTH a CD player and turntable. Not sure how to do this.
Thanks!

View originalThere are plenty of manual pushbutton devices (starting as low as $10, e.g. at amazon.com item# B00KXVBB8Q), but if you can hide it, a sound-activated auto-switch is fun. (e.g. by MCM, amazon item# “B00L9YVL90”). But auto costs $70, which you might instead spend towards a second Sonos speaker with a second line-in! Just put the turntable in a different room from the CD. Or, in the same room, a stereo pair! The question about whether & how line-in works with a stereo pair in the same room has been asked & answered, https://en.community.sonos.com/what-to-get-228989/pairing-two-play-5-with-a-shared-line-in-source-6794046
Possibly that’s more than you wanted to spend “just to play a record occasionally”, which is the typical case; it’s tough to beat $10...
Thanks for your reply! Yes, you confirmed what I was thinking. I will just buy a cheap switch.
Thanks again!
