Desktop Controller for Windows

The Sonos Desktop Controller software is compatible with Windows Vista™ and Windows® XP, including Windows XP® Media Center operating systems. (You can visit our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/specs for the latest system requirements and compatible audio formats.)

For easy setup, you should install the Desktop Controller (DCR) for Windows software on every Windows computer in your network that contains music files. However, if you wish to access music stored on a computer where file sharing is not enabled and the Desktop Controller software is not installed, you can go to our Web site at http://faq.sonos.com/sharing for assistance.

If you have recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista and you are experiencing problems, see "I’ve recently upgraded to Windows Vista and my music doesn’t play" on page A-1.
