Make your home theater part of a multi-room music system or tune up your stereo and let it wirelessly play all that music stored on your computer and the Internet.

Free Music with Every Sonos System

Sonos comes with tons of free music: 25,000 Internet radio stations, plus Pandora®, Last.fm, and 30-day free trials to Napster®, Rhapsody® and SIRIUS®. Sonos plays all that, plus your existing music library. And because Sonos connects directly to the Internet, you’ll have all that free music in your hands, without ever turning on your computer.

Sonos Keeps Getting Better

Unlike most other consumer electronic products, the entire Sonos system keeps getting better even after you buy it. With free automatic software updates you’ll always have the newest features and music services to enjoy.

Simple setup

Setting up Sonos is incredibly easy. No technical or wiring expertise required. And no need to break through walls or re-wire your entire house. All you need is a high-speed Internet connection and a router to get started. One ZonePlayer or ZoneBridge in your system must be connected to the router and all the rest will work wirelessly. Add more ZonePlayers and Controllers without adding wires.

Ready for expansion

When you’re ready to play more music in more rooms, you can add wireless ZonePlayers (ZP90 or the amplified ZP120) and Controllers for the ultimate multi-room music experience.

Complete Your Sonos Setup with Select Accessories (sold separately)

Ready to take your Sonos experience even further? Get the most out of your wireless music system with these accessories (sold separately) to expand your music coverage throughout the home.

	Sonos ZonePlayer 120--The ZP120’s state-of the-art digital amplifier delivers audiophile-quality sound to any room. The energy-efficient Class D amplifier provides 55W per channel of power with a THD+N <.02% for excellent audio quality playback — without hisses, crackles or hums. And because the amplifier is built in, you won’t need to connect to a stereo to play your music, making it the easiest way to add a room to your Sonos system. Just plug it in, connect to speakers and enjoy.
	Sonos ZonePlayer 90--Just connect the ZP90 to any amplified audio device in any room and add a room to your Sonos system. The ZP90’s digital and analog outputs deliver superior sound to every room. And with the ZP90’s superior wireless range, no room is out of reach. The ZP90 is super small, so it will fit just about anywhere.
	Sonos Controller--Add Controllers to your Sonos system to let all the music lovers in your home in on the fun. Just pick a room, pick a song and hit play. Use search to find your favorites, and quickly link and unlink zones to play the same song in every room or different songs in different rooms. Controllers aren’t tied to a specific ZonePlayer, so you can use any Controller to control the music and the volume in any or all rooms. And there’s practically no limit to how many Controllers you can have--one for every room, floor or music lover in your house.
	Sonos Charging Cradle--The Sonos CC100 Charging Cradle is specially designed to hold your Sonos Controller CR100, and it also doubles as a charger. Mount this cradle on a wall (custom-fit bracket, anchors and screws are included) or place it on a table. Either way, when the Controller is resting in the cradle, you'll know it is safe, secure, and charging -- you can even continue to use your Controller as it regains power.
	Sonos ZoneBridge--The Sonos ZoneBridge makes setting up an all-wireless Sonos system wonderfully fast…and easy. Although it doesn't play music like a ZonePlayer, it's a cost-effective way to extend your SonosNet network range. Instead of using a ZonePlayer, simply connect the ZoneBridge to your router to instantly activate the SonosNet wireless mesh network. It’s the ideal solution if your house doesn’t have Ethernet wiring or your router is in a room where you don’t want music. And with a two-port Ethernet switch, it also brings standard Internet connectivity to your set-top box, DVR, PC, game console, or NAS drive.
	Sonos SP100 Loudspeakers--The Sonos SP100s are designed to accent the Sonos ZonePlayer 100 both acoustically and aesthetically. The speakers are equipped with 1-inch Teteron dome tweeters that reproduce extended high frequencies, along with 5.5-inch polypropylene copolymer cone woofers that handle the bass response. The combined driver output extends from 75 Hz to 20 kHz, making everything from rock to classical sound crisp and exciting.

This review is from: Sonos ZP90/CR100 Bundle (SZ90) (Electronics)

As my CD collection grew, I looked for a way to organize and catalog them. Sometimes it's difficult to remember whether I already own a certain title or not. I looked at the CD players that hold 200 or more CDs and work like a jukebox - the expert reviews seemed to say not to use them if you care about your CDs. Even if there was a gentle one, there doesn't seem to be a satisfactory way to catalog/index a large collection. Then, I heard there were computerized systems which could store the contents of the CDs and then retrieve them in an orderly fashion. All of the ones I looked at were very expensive and required extensive wiring to any desired listening area in the house.
Recently, I heard of the Sonos system which stores music on a computer or similar "MAS" storage device and it requires NO wiring. That seemed to be the ticket and I have to say it really delivers what they promise.
If you want to store CDs like I do, there are a few things they don't tell you. First, you have to be fairly knowledgeable in using your computer. You don't just put the CD in and it magically copies into a Sonos readable format. You use Windows Media Player to extract (i.e. "rip") the sound files from the CD. If the CD has other data (e.g. track title/composer listings and the album cover), that will also be copied. If the other data is not there, you have to enter it manually if you want that information to show up on either the computer or the remote control's screen. Entering the data manually and scanning the album cover is not difficult, but it makes the time required to copy the data significantly longer. Then, you also have to spend some time figuring out a logical way to store the data. I created a "Sonos" folder under "My Music" and then sub-folders (e.g. Jazz, Piano, Organ, Symphonic, Choral, etc.). Then, I set up sub-sub-folders for each composer and then a folder under that for each album. Sounds complicated - it isn't.
I think the Sonos instructions are intended for people downloading mp3 files, etc. Even if you are doing this, you should still take time to think about a logical way to organize your music so you can find it later.
I love the system - it really works! Now that my library is getting organized (still a lot more CDs to input), I'm enjoying my CDs more. I also like the numerous radio stations available through the Internet. I can listen to stations from all over - not all stations are available through Sonos (BBC 3 for example), however.
You must have a good Internet connection because Sonos updates and synchronizes itself using the Internet. It's unclear what effect the computer has on the system except for storage and retrieval. I have a fairly robust system with plenty of space on the hard drive for the Sonos music. I recommend that you not destroy your CD collection unless you also maintain regular backups of the music library. Sonos recommends having a home network (i.e. including a router), but you can use the system without one. You do have to leave the computer turned on to access the CD music but you don't to listen to Internet radio stations.
Sonos still isn't cheap. I spent about $1,500 to connect two room stereo systems. I didn't need any Sonos amplification or speaker equipment (i.e. which would increase the cost). I feel that's a bargain when compared to the several thousand it would cost to install a wired system to do the same thing. I notice no interference with any other electronic device and it's invisible when I use my computer for other things.
