All Sonos audio devices expose the UPnP service urn:upnp-org:serviceId:ContentDirectory and PCs will find it, think it is a DLNA source (which it is not) and display it as shown.

If you have music files on your PC you can use this feature by right clicking on such a file and use Cast To to play it on directly on your Sonos speaker.

Hi @JWPY 

Welcome to the Sonos Community!

Nothing much, to be honest - you’ll notice that there are no files in any of the folders, only subfolders. This is likely because the contents are restricted to other Sonos devices only - your PC can only see the folder structure.
