New to sonos and bought the Play:3. Want to stream music from a fan website for a specific band. Is this possible?

Hi there, egrant.salvi. Thanks for posting and welcome to the Community. The only way you would be able to get music from a website, outside of connecting with one of our supported music services, would be to connect a computer to another device through Line-In. This would mean you would have to purchase another Sonos device (CONNECT, CONNECT:AMP, PLAY:5) to make that happen.

This is a relatively common feature request, so I am happy to make sure to add your name to the list for custom streams to be added to Sonos.

lastly would be an app like streamwhatyouhear which can direct computers sound to the internet (creates an actual radio station from your computer output).

But streamwhatyouhear will cause a few seconds of delay to sounds you are playing on your computer..

yes it will cause delay - but the original poster didn't mention any issue with having a delay. Would not be suitable for video.
