On a Mac, the only solution I’ve found that will accept the music library is the NAS option. You need to either copy the entire apple music library to a NAS and point Sonos at the folder there with a NAS user/pass or figure some way to trick Sonos into thinking your folder is on a NAS. Good luck.

 

P.S. I think I read somewhere that this will be fixed in June sometime which is a long time to go without music library. :-(

Hi @User966103, as shown in the article above to enable SMBv2 …

  • open PowerShell as Administrator
  • type (without quotes) “Set-SmbServerConfiguration –EnableSMB2Protocol $true”

I get “invalid argument” as a response when I typed in the above.

 

I tried to update my Powershell but the instructions are complicated and confusing to a layman such as myself.

Hi @User966103, no need to update PowerShell, just ignore that message.

Try cutting-and-pasting the command below into PowerShell (as Administrator) …

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $true

… I’ve replaced the mdash character with a regular dash and confirmed that it works. When you paste that command the first part will appear yellow, the middle part will appear gray, and the last part will appear green.

I copied and pasted the command and I do get the yellow gray and green command.  It then asks me to confirm and I type in “Y,” but nothing then happens.

Hi @User966103, run the PowerShell command …

Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol

… it should now return TRUE.

Yes, it is saying “true.”  It appears that I can connect and now add my Music Library (on my PC’s hard drive) to my Sonos system.  This has taken 4-5 months to figure out.  I stumbled onto it.  I’m hoping this really DOES it.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed, after so many aborted attempts.

 

Thank you so much for your suggestions and taking the time to reply.  I could never have done it otherwise.  I’ve written on dozens of Sonos Forum threads about my situation--to no avail, until now.

After a few hours, now again I’m getting the same error (913), unable to add the shared music library to Sonos.

I got 913 error too but this worked for me (from desktop):

1. Right click your music library folder

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​2  Select “Give access to” and “Specific people”

3 Type “Sonos” in the search box and the dropdown will show “Sonos Wireless HiFi System”

4 Select it and click “add”

It will take a few minutes but should add it and be available on all you devices.
