Is it possible to connect a sonos loudspeaker directly to a laptop (through wires)? Thanks.
I would like to play my sonos loudspeakers in my basement where I don't have any Ethernet. Can I connect one of my loudspeakers to my laptop and listen the music stored on my laptop?

You can connect a Sonos player to a laptop with Ethernet and they can communicate together in an offline (autoip) setup. You'd be able to play the music library stored on your computer through that connection. Our system however is designed to run wirelessly, with an internet connection. You can setup a BRIDGE wired into your router, and it will broadcast the wireless signal down to the units you have in the basement. You could then play all of our services including your computer's music library.
Cheers.
Thank-you very much for your answer.
so this can work with a play3 or play1? other offline solutions with direct line in appear only to work with Play5 since only that has the line in port
