Hello Community Members
This is a step by step visual tutorial on how to set an Alarm with Music (in the Sonos App) to wake up to; or as reminder, using your favorite tune. Chimes are set by default.
There are a few assumptions made. Such as that you’ve already added at least one (1) music service.
This guide is very granular meaning although there are eighteen (18) steps listed many are intuitive. However, rather than leave anything to chance all steps are presented for completeness. One of the steps involves selecting a music station of your choice. It can be a “Sonos Favorite” you've already set up in the app; or you can use the “Search” feature to select a station, genre, song or artist.
If you already have a music station set under Sonos Favorites; that you’d like to use as an alarm, you can skip to Step 8. At the end of this tutorial there are also steps on how to “delete” an alarm.
It is hoped that you find this tutorial useful and that it enhances your enjoyment of Sonos.

To set an Alarm with Music
STEP 1
Pick an audio source under “Your Services”. We’ll use Amazon Music for this example.
Later we are also going to pre-set a Sonos Favorite in this example. However as mentioned you can skip to Step 8 if you already have a Sonos Favorite saved; or would rather Search for a particular station, genre, artist or song.
STEP 2
Select an Amazon Music content. We’ll use “Stations” for this example.
STEP 3
Select an Amazon Station. We’ll use “Alternative Rock” for this example
STEP 4
Select an “Alternative Rock” station. We’ll use “90’s Alternative” for this example
STEP 5
Click the three (3) dots … in the circle
STEP 6
Click the heart 💜 in the circle “Save to Sonos Favorites”
STEP 7
Go to Home Page on Sonos App. You’ll see your saved audio source under “Sonos Favorites” which in this example is 90’s Alternative.
STEP 8
Click the Cog Wheel ⚙ in upper Right corner of Sonos App
