Morning everyone!
I need some basic assistance (or an idiots guide) as my Sonos gear is about to arrive...
1 X Sonos Zone Bridge BR100
2 X Sonos ZPS5 Players
1 X Buffalo NAS 1TB
That was the easy bit (buying it...) now comes the bit which has me so confused I'm wondering if I will ever sort it...
I need to convert my CD collection to digital music, using iTunes (I guess?)
Questions therefore are:
1) what format do I need to import the CD's in? (MP4, MP3, Apple lossless etc etc etc)
2) If I import them straight onto my PC first (NAS arrives in a few days) can I then move them across easily?
We have 2 iPhone's in the house, and whilst we don't have them stacked with music, how do these fit into the equation? (i.e. what files does iPhone need the music in?)
I'm about 99% ready to invest in an iMac (fed up with lousy PC's) and have an iPad coming aswell, as this will be useful when I travel with work, but also handy as the Sonos controller
The idea is to end up with Sonos everywhere in the house, but that can't happen until I have worked out how to make it all work in the first place!
Any suggestions/pointers would be greatfully received, but please remember I am somewhat confused already, so try and keep it simple for me!! (ha ha!)
Thanks in anticipation
