Question

Line-in sources

Are the line-in sources for Play 3's & 5's really only iPads, iPods, and iPhones? This is what is noted on this topic at the Sonos website: Audio line-in: Auto-detecting 3.5mm audio line-in connection. Listen to music that’s stored on an iPod or iPhone: Dock, charge and wirelessly play the music from an iPod or iPhone with the SONOS DOCK (sold separately).

    I am looking to connect an external radio source (FM/DAB) to the Play 5 line out. I can`t get local radio live football coverage any other way due to broadcasting rights. How do i do this and is there a radio brand.type anyone can recommend that supports stereo line out rather than dual mono ?

    See this link for tips on using the line-in.

    As to a radio recommendation, anything that has analog line-outs is able to be used. Any differences between connections can be taken care of by cable adapters. You can get RCA to mini-plug cables quite easily.
