Will the Sonos system work with any music program on my phone like amazon music? or do I need to import all my music to the sonos app?

I loaded the SONOS app on both my iPhone and iPad. I was able to play my music library and purchased music from each of those devices thru my SONOS system with no problems. I don't have experience with Amazon music or other platforms to comment further.

Everything plays through the Sonos app. The phone is just displaying the user interface hosted by the Sonos device. The Sonos device will play music files it finds on your network.

You play everything through the sonos app, but the app connects to the other services to play the music - it doesn't import anything. I play my Amazon stuff, Beats music, Deezer, etc. - the app connects to each one as it needs to. If the app doesn't know how to connect to a service, you can't play from it, but sonos connects to most that I've heard of (there's a list on the sonos web site), or it will play from a hard disk on your home network.

Yes, Sonos plays Amazon music through the sonos app on your phone, computer or tablet. Additionally, it plays any music you have loaded on your device. It's awesome!!!

Sean, Sonos works with a ton of music services including Amazon. You won't have to import the music physically into the Sonos app, it will point to the music and stream it.

It will work with Amazon, but last I saw it only works with the music uploaded to or purchased into the cloud. The free music from Amazon Prime will not be available on Sonos. This may have changed in the past two months, but I doubt it. It also goes through a separate Sonos app that's much clunkier than the usual Android app on my phone at least.

Using my android smartphone with bluetooth, I am able to control basic features of Spotify. However, meta data does not show. Reading Spotify forums this is more likely a Spotify problem than this unit. Older versions of Spotify has worked great with this unit.Using the USB cable into the unit does not make a difference either. Neither does using the aux/in.All other music apps seem to work fine, just Spotify seems to have problems. This Kenwood unit is awesome!

Absolutely yes. I run Sonos from my Kindle Fire as well as my laptop. Go to Amazon and search "sonos app for kindle fire". It's a free download.

There is no Amazon native app that I can see on it as of current firmware update. If the content you downloaded through Amazon isn't protected by any kind of DRM and is just a video file it will most likely play, this thing hasn't refused to play anything I've put in it so far. I just upload all the files to it via LAN and things play just fine.

I have a Galaxy S3, and have been wondering the same thing. I've searched a lot for the same info. As far as I know there aren't any units that are android friendly. Most are compatible with Iphone. You should still be able to stream music, or play music from the phone through the unit using an aux or usb connection. I just don't think it will show any artist info on screen.

i got a new android but cant figure out how to put amazon music from my old phone on to my new phone. I never used cloud drive. is there any hope for me?

Yes the music works perfect now! The only thing to watch out for is if you use iTunes Match, you must download the songs into the Music App before they will play through the Silverlit App. You can see them if they are not downloaded, but it will crash the App if you try to play a song when it has not been downloaded to the device first. Hope that helps!!

The bridge just provides a connection between your network and the Sonos wireless network, it doesn't have any audio connections of its own. If you have existing speakers and you want to use them with Sonos, I think you want the Connect:Amp product

I have a sonos connect in the living room connected to my tv as input and stereo as output and have a play 5 in the kitchen. The kitchen has an opening so I can watch the tv from the kitchen. The sound is perfectly in sync because I hear both the tv over the stereo via the connect and the sound from the play 5.

As far as I know, no. This system works off of android programs. But, I have no idea if it would work. I'm assuming it's set up the same as my phone is, we use google play for our music, games and apps.

Yes, will sync with another music source. We used a smartphone and it worked fine.

No, Sonos does NOT use your wifi network at all. It plugs into your wired Internet connection at your router, and creates its own wireless network, which is proprietary and not standard Wifi. In fact, that is the entire job of the Bridge. Sonos wireless network is a mesh, meaning all sonos devices in the network can relay signals. So the more sonos, the better the network, the better the range of coverage.

As long as the Sonos can accept audio input via an analog wired audio cable, then yes, you could stream to this BTA-10 via bluetooth and then have it pass to the Sonos (or any other audio amp/player) The BTA outputs via a 1/8" mini phone jack, so you'd need to adapt accordingly.

There is no evidence this unit supports anything like that. Sonos is the only one I know of that allows that.

Yes, it can stream just like your music would, assuming that you want it too. Like all Sonos components, you can play something different in each room or have them all on the same. So when the kids are watching a movie, the Sonos only plays that in their space and we listen to music in the kitchen. If we all are watching the same thing, then both the TV room and the kitchen have the movie sound.

You can use airplay or iTunes, Amazon Cloud, gMusic etc. Airplay is agnostic about the application and source of the music.

This device will work with any audio that comes from your Bluetooth compatible device. So yes, it will work with Pandora, Spotify, Google Play, and locally-stored music.However, I absolutely can NOT recommend this device. Everything you play through it will sound like you're listening through a tin can.
