How to schedule music

Step-by-step guide

1. Create a schedule

Go to the create tab in the player app, or the top menu when logged into your account.  Under weekly schedule, click create a schedule. 

2. Schedule music

After setting up your schedule, suggested content and your saved music are on the left side. To add them, simply drag and drop to the desired day and time. Make sure your music spans your opening hours. If you need to remove something, click the slot and then the minus (-) symbol next to its name.

3. Save your schedule

Remember to save your schedule and press play to listen to your zone right away - click here if you are unsure about how to select and play music to your zone. All your schedules will be available in Your music. 

4. Select and play a schedule

You can now play your schedule in one, several, or all zones by clicking into the schedule itself, and choosing the red button 'play' in the top right corner. Select the zones you wish to play the schedule in and click play again. Your schedule will begin playing after the current track is finished.

Good to know

Combine stations and playlists in a single time slot for added diversity. A song from each will play in a shuffled sequence. If you want to change the order, just click on a time slot and drag the playlists or stations into your preferred order.

You can schedule a week's worth of music. Once the week ends, it will loop. For varying weekly music, consider creating multiple schedules to switch between.

Please note that the app needs to be in the foreground when inserting the charger for the schedule to start playing automatically.

Sonos

The scheduling feature is not available if you use the Sonos player. Instead, Sonos has a scheduling feature that is similar to how you schedule music in Soundtrack. In Sonos, you can set an “alarm” to start playing music at a certain time and length. You can find more information on setting an alarm here.

Alternatively, you can use AirPlay and the Soundtrack Player app from an iOS Device instead of the regular Sonos app. This way, the sound from the iOS will be directly streamed to all Sonos speakers. You can learn more about playing music from Soundtrack with Sonos speakers here.
