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. :-(

Well good for you. As previously stated I have followed those steps several times, on multiple machines, with no success and I am far from being the only person with this problem.

They ‘fixed’ a problem that did not exist and, in doing so, took away the functionality a lot of users wanted.

Personally, I am so over it with Sonos. What I currently have is a Spoitify player and nothing more. As my moral objections to Spotify’s unconscionable business practises increase, it’s just a matter of time before another eight Sonos products end up in landfill.

 

I’m not denying there are problems.  My reply was to your claim that Sonos “have accidentally killed this functionality and have no idea how to fix it.”  They didn’t kill it, and they have fixed it for many, many users (and probably could for you if you called support).

    Well a local library is not only working here for me, our children and several friends have it working in their Homes too, that includes sharing from MacOS, Windows and NAS - so across the entire spectrum of sharing a folder structure over a LAN subnet. 

    Have you spoken to Sonos Support Staff about your library issues? If not, then I can only suggest that you give them a call. Here is the link to contact them…

      You shouldn’t need to switch off the firewall - see the Sonos Support link here for windows 10 - I assume the steps are same/similar for Windows 11:
