Imported playlists

The Sonos Digital Music System is compatible with iTunes playlists as well as M3U, WPL and PLS playlist files created with third-party software (e.g. iTunes, WinAmp, Windows Media Player, etc.).

The Sonos Digital Music System does not change music or playlist files created by other applications; these files are always treated as “read-only”.

M3U, WPL and PLS support

•Using the Desktop Controller, you can view your playlists by selecting Imported Playlists from the Library tab.

•Using your handheld Controller, select Imported Playlists from the Music Li- brary.

•If they are not visible, they are probably not located in a folder you currently have shared to the Sonos Digital Music System. Move the playlist file .PLS, .M3U or

.WPL into the same music folder that you have shared to the Sonos system, up- date your music index, and the custom playlists will appear when you select Im- ported Playlists from your music library. See "Managing Music Folders" on page 4-2 for additional information.
