I just want to be able to access my music library through the sonos app, not just access streaming services. I don’t have a subscription account with Apply Music but recently I’ve signed up with Spotify.

Why can’t the app find my computer when it’s been installed on it ? Where did it get this computer name from and can it be changed ?Īccording to “About this Mac” on my machine it names my computer as : Barry’s MacBook Air The computer “Barrys-Macbook-Air” cannot be found. #SONOS FOR MAC FOR MAC#
