Part 2. How to Play Pandora on Sonos Speaker via UkeySoft

Sonos, the wireless home sound system, includes a built-in storage capacity that can accommodate up to 65,000 songs. This feature allows users to import their personal music libraries from their computers or network-connected storage drives directly into the Sonos speaker.
