Hi JBCinSD,

Sonos makes it easy to stream your music library from any computer or network-attached storage (NAS) device on your network throughout your home. Add your music from up to 16 different computers in a matter of minutes.
1) From now, the app will open and will scan the Sonos speakers on your network. Make sure that your Mac and your Sonos speakers are connected to the same network / wifi. It will display your Sonos speakers on the application. 2) Now you need to tell your Mac that you will play the music to your Sonos speakers. The new Sonos S2 app is here. Setting up Sonos.
