Whatever you want to do in the Sonos S2 app, it will always be no more than two or three taps away, and that's one of the main reasons for the global popularity of Sonos products.ĭiving into the settings specific to the Sonos Five, you can change the name of the speaker or the room it's in, but that's only a good idea if it's the only speaker in that room, pair it up with a secondary Five unit, adjust its volume limit and equalizer, fine-tune the line-in source if you're using one (level and delay adjustment), and enable or disable its status light and touch controls. There are also buttons to quickly play the selected tune on all speakers or create speaker group presets, which is great if you happen to often group the same speakers. Selecting what plays where boils down to tapping the 'cast' button next to any of the speakers/groups and putting check marks next to appropriate speakers/groups. The screenshot above shows a scenario with six available Sonos speakers, where two are grouped together (Living Room and Gallery) and each speaker/group plays music from a different source-TuneIn on the Living Room/Gallery group, Spotify on the bedroom speaker, and Tidal on my office speaker (the Five in this exact case).

The excellent Sonos S2 mobile app (Android, iOS, FireOS) lets you play music from all supported music services (Apple Music, Tidal, Spotify, YouTube Music, Deezer, TuneIn Radio, Sonos Radio, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, and many more), or your local Plex server or shared music folder.
