What is Sonos?

A Sonos system is available in Haus Vlietländer. Music can be streamed wirelessly via this system. For more information about Sonos, click here. There are – for each music streaming service (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer) – two ways you can play music on Sonos. One is to use the Sonos app, while the other is directly using the music streaming service’s app. The following briefly explains both methods for each streaming service.

The Wi-Fi code can be found on the QR block, which is in the living room.

Step 1: Open the Spotify app

Step 2: Select the song you want and then click “Devices available” to select Sonos (one or more devices) from the device list to connect.
