Hi just a quickie I hope 😃 when looking at the controller on my Laptop in the list down the right side under the heading "select a music source" should I be seeing my iphone and the music on it ? thanks and sorry if its a stupid question.

Not a stupid question at all.

But no, you shouldn't. Your phone is, for the purposes of Sonos, an ephemeral device, i.e. it isn't always there to be shown. So instead, if you want to play music from your phone's memory, you initiate playback from the Sonos app on the phone, and select the source "on this phone".
