Change speaker IP number to meaningful name on *computer*
Using Windows Media Player. Want to 'cast' music to a Sonos speaker from my laptop. How do I change speaker IP number to a more useful name?

A Double-click on the 'My Computer" icon on the desktop will open the File Explorer and you will see something like this:
Right-click the icon of a Sonos player to rename the unit.

That seems to have worked. Thank you! 🙂
You're welcome. 😃
Ah, correction: It worked in File Explorer, but the names aren't updated in Windows Media Player.
Anyone know how to get the updated names to carry over?

Maybe assign them static IP addresses and names using your DHCP server?
Sorry to hear. I don't make use of WMP anymore, thus I didn't verify. Perhaps you'll get some assistance on the Microsoft Community.
