In Reply to: RE: Macbook Air/exterrnal USB hard drive (WAV files)/wireless Sonos? posted by willkayakforfood on January 25, 2017 at 13:23:40
If you go to the Sonos site they tell you how to do this.
Short answer is you must tell the Sonos app where the music is located.
If directly saved to your Apple MacBook i.e not cloud or streaming
1. Download/ Open Sonos app.
2. Select Preferences from Sonos drop down
3. Music Library option
4. On Folder option hit + sign
5. 3 options will appear to select where your music is stored. "in my music folder" suits most needs but you can select networked drive if you want to get technical
6. on the next screen you will be asked to enter your MacBook System Administrator password.
7. Once complete "Music library" will appear in Sonos user interface.
Cerebrate!

One more quick question...
We got close, but then there was a small glitch. It said the format of the external disk was incompatible with the OSX system (even though it can read, and even play the music files on the little computer speakers). Anyway, it wanted the external disk to be in "HFX+" format (something like that).
So, we're just about finished downloading the entire music folder onto a friend's computer for temporary storage, so that we can reformat the external USB drive.
Here's the question...
All these music files are currently in WAV format. Do we need to convert them to a different format? Or will these WAV files be just fine on the newly reformatted USB drive and OSX computer?
Thanks!
Thank you! We'll give that a try. :)
