    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".
