Play music

There are lots of ways to get the music playing on Sonos—choose whichever control works best in the moment.

• The Sonos app. The free Sonos app is the easiest way to play anything and everything on Sonos. Simply open the app, tap and choose from the list of music sources.

• Voice commands. If you have a voice-enabled Sonos speaker, you can use your voice to play and control the music. Ask Alexa to play your favorite radio station or the top hits on Spotify.

• Controls on the speaker. If you’re near a speaker, you can use the speaker controls to adjust volume, stop the music, or change the song.

• Another streaming app. Control Sonos directly from a different app (like Spotify, Pandora, or Pocket Casts). Just open the app and connect to a Sonos room or group to start the music.

• Airplay 2. Use AirPlay 2 to stream music, movies, podcasts, and more directly from your favorite apps to your Sonos speakers. Listen to Apple Music on your Sonos One. Watch a YouTube or Netflix video and enjoy the sound on Sonos.

When you find music you love, add it to My Sonos in the mobile app so it’s easy to play again. You can save, play, and manage your favorite music and playlists all in one place. Learn more.
