Since wirelessly connecting my speakers directly to my network router, I haven’t been able to connect to my music library on my pc.  I get error message saying my pc isn’t responding.  I also connected a usb thumb drive containing my music to my router and tried to access it without success.  I must be doing something wrong.  Please advise how I can resolve this issue.  Thank you.

I am using Windows 10.  Firewall settings allow Sonos to access computer.  Laptop is awake and connected to WiFi.  I submitted diagnostic report.  I can insert thumb drive with music library installed on my Verizon Fios router if that would be easier.  I just need some instruction how to determine path and login info.  Thanks for your help.


Hi @dwschof, thanks for the update. And for submitting a diagnostic report of your Sonos system. may we know the diagnostic number or If you don't have it anymore.

Hi @dwschof, thanks for the update and for submitting a diagnostic report of your Sonos system. Upon checking, the Music library is not yet added because it still shows zero songs on it. only music services are showing that were added to the report. For instructions and further troubleshooting assistance.  I'll ask you to kindly contact our phone support team for further assistance and more in-depth troubleshooting steps.  They may request remote access with your device controller so that they can check on the right path and login info to your PC controller.

I had one of your support folks check things out yesterday afternoon and he wasn’t able to connect to my library.  It seems ever since Sonos made its major systemic changes last Spring or whenever it was, I have been unable to connect to my music library.  I think I have about given up.  I will have to live with what is now an inferior product from my perspective.

Is there a way to connect to my music in ICloud or OneDrive?  I do not want to subscribe to Apple Music.


Hi @dwschof, thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that our phone support team was not able to connect your songs to your Library. About your question on connecting your iCloud or Onedrive on Sonos, I'm afraid that wouldn’t be possible, You may connect external hard drives or NAS drives as alternatives. You may check this link for more information on connecting NAS on Sonos.
