SONOS CONTROL 19 Music Library Preferences Sort folders by preference You can set the sorting preference for music folders that are accessible from your music library. You can choose to sort by: • Track name • Track number • Filename 1. From the Settings menu, select Advanced Settings -> Sort Folders By. 2. Select your sort order preference (track name, track number or file name.) Compilation albums If your music collection contains compilations and soundtracks, you may want to group these songs together in your music library instead of viewing them by individual artist. This means that any artists that appear solely on compilations will not appear in your Artists list. Group using iTunes compilations iTunes normally organizes your iTunes Music folder as [Artist]/[Album]/[Track name]. iTunes has a feature that allows you to group your compilations albums together. This will organize your compilations and soundtrack albums as [Compilations]/ [Album]/[Track name]. Within iTunes: 1. Mark individual tracks as being part of compilations by highlighting the track and then selecting File -> Get Info. 2. Check the Part of a compilation checkbox. 3. From iTunes Preferences, check the Group Compilations When Browsing checkbox. This will group the tracks you've marked as compilations. Within Sonos: You can organize your Sonos music library to use this iTunes compilation view. 1. From the Music Menu, select Settings -> Music Library Management -> Compilation Albums. 2. Select Use iTunes Compilations. Group using AlbumArtists Windows Media Player, as well as some other players, use the Album Artist category to group compilations and soundtrack albums (the Album Artist is the person, group or composer the album would be filed under in a store.) You can organize your Sonos music library to use the AlbumArtist compilation view. Do not group compilations If you choose not to group compilation albums, the individual artists will display within your Artists view. 1. From the Music Menu, touch Settings -> Music Library Management -> Compilation Albums. 2. Select Do not group compilations.
