Everything's seemingly going wireless, so why wouldn't you jump on the wireless music bandwagon? With Sonos, you can stream all of your music to every room in your house, provided you have enough Sonos speakers to fill it.

Sonos is a wireless smart speaker system that connects to your home Wi-Fi network and then creates a network of its own, so that it's not eating up your bandwidth.

There's a Sonos app for iPhone and iPad, but you can also have total control from your Mac, so if you have a massive music library, you can put it all to good use!

How to set up your Sonos speakers using the Sonos Controller app for Mac

Download the free Sonos Controller from the iTunes store and away you go!

  1. Launch the Sonos Controller app from your dock or from the Finder.
  2. Click Next on the welcome screen.

  3. Click Set up New System.

  4. Check Standard Setup. You can check BOOST Setup, which is a hardwired setup, but if you've just bought your Sonos speaker, you likely don't have a BOOST or Bridge, since they've been discontinued.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Click the lock.

  7. Enter the administrator's name and password and click OK. This will allow your Sonos player to connect to your Mac.

  8. Click Next on the Connect to Power screen, once you've plugged in your player.

  9. Click Next once you've seen the green flashing light. It's usually the mute/play/pause button that flashes and it can be quite faint, so put your hand over it and check if you're in a bright room.

  10. Click the dropdown menu on the Player Setup screen.
  11. Click your Sonos model in the list.

  12. Click Set Up This Player.

  13. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  14. Click Next.

  15. Click Next on the Wireless Setup screen, once your speaker is connected.

  17. Click Next.

  18. Click Next on the screen that says your player has been added.

  19. Click the dropdown menu on the Choose Room screen.
  20. Click the room in which you'll have your Sonos speaker.

  21. Click Next.

  22. Click Add Another Player and follow the same steps, if you wish. Otherwise, click Not Now.

  23. Click Next on the Sonos Registration screen.

  24. Enter your email address.
  25. Uncheck the boxes if you do not wish to receive company product information or software update information.

  26. Click Next.

  27. Click the dropdown menu.
  28. Select your country from the list.

  29. Click Next.

  30. Enter your zip/postal code.

  31. Click Next.

  32. Check or uncheck the box, depending on whether or not you would like to share usage data with Sonos.

  33. Click Next.

  34. Click Next on the 'Registration Complete' screen.

  35. Choose whether or not you'd like to set up your music library.

    • Click Set up my music now and Sonos will take you through the process of adding your personal music library to the controller app.

    • Click I'll set up my music later if you just want to get right into things and use music services instead of your music library.

  36. Click Next.

  37. Apple free app of the week. Click Done.

There it is. It took a little while, but your Sonos system is now up and running and waiting to blast your sweet tunes.

How to connect to an existing Sonos system

If you've got a Sonos system set up already, but maybe brought home a brand new Mac, connecting to the existing system is a snap!

  1. Launch the Sonos Controller app from your dock or from the Finder.
  2. Click Next on the welcome screen.

  3. Click Connect to Existing System.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
  5. Click Next on the 'Connected' screen.

  6. Choose whether or not you'd like to set up your music library.

    • Click Set up my music now and Sonos will take you through the process of adding your personal music library to the controller app.

    • Click I'll set up my music later if you just want to get right into things and use music services instead of your music library.

Sonos Desktop Controller App Download

Sonos supports a TON of music services, including Apple Music (though, you have to set up Apple Music through the iPhone or iPad app). If you've got a subscription, then you have access through Sonos!
