The Sonos system indexes your music folders so you can view your music collection by categories (such as artists, albums, composers, genres, or tracks.) If you add new music to a folder that is already indexed, simply update your music index to add this music to your Sonos music library.
•To update your music index, touch Settings -> Manage Music Library -> Update Music Index Now. If you’d like your music index to update automatically each day, select Schedule Music Index Updates and then select a music index update time.
Using Line-In
You can easily stream an external source such as a CD player or portable music player through your Sonos system using the audio-in connections on your SONOS CONNECT:AMP. The device will be automatically detected as soon as you plug it in.
•Use a standard RCA cable to plug an external source like a CD player into the analog Audio In connections on the back of your CONNECT:AMP.
•If you are connecting a portable music player to the CONNECT:AMP, you will need a 1/8 inch mini-stereo to RCA audio cable instead. Plug the mini-stereo end into the portable device and the RCA end into the Audio In connection on the
CONNECT:AMP.
Using a handheld Sonos Controller:

Using the Sonos Controller for Mac or PC:

A default (typical) line-in level is automatically assigned when you select a source name, but if the volume sounds too low, you can select a higher line level for this device. (You may experience sound distortion at higher volume levels if you set the level too high.)
Line-in encoding settings
When you have line-in music sources attached to a Sonos component, line-in encoding determines how Sonos will encode the data coming in from these sources. Your Sonos system defaults to automatic in order to provide the optimal playback experience. Sonos recommends you do not change this default. However, if you decide to make a change, we recommend the following usage guidelines:
