If you want to play the same music from different Sonos speakers connected to the same wifi, you will only need one Soundtrack zone. To get the music to play on all speakers you will need to group the rooms. You can read all about grouping rooms here.

Features

Control the music remotely

You can use as many devices as you need to control your Sonos system. To be able to do so, you will need to be connected to the same wifi as your Sonos. Simply choose “add to existing Sonos system” while on the same wifi and start to control the music.

This way you don’t need a specific device at your business to run the music. You and your staff can simply control the music through your own devices.

Schedule

Sonos offers 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.

Shuffle

Unlimited users are now able to choose to play a playlist in linear order or in shuffle mode.

When selecting a playlist, either select:
1. “Play” and have the music playing in a linear order.
2. “Shuffle” and the playlist will start shuffling.

Create playlists and stations

To create a playlist or a station you will need to log into the browser

You can find instructions on how to create a station on this page.
For our Unlimited customers you are also able to create a playlist which you can learn more about how to create here.

Explicit

Want to avoid explicit content? Simply log in to your account in business.soundtrackyourbrand.com and navigate to account settings. Scroll down and turn on the explicit filter. It then takes around 10 minutes for the explicit filtering to be active/updated in Sonos.

Music Quality

The music in Sonos streams at 96kbps. This is a general-purpose setting that will sound good to most listeners.
