I want to play my desktop MP3s on my stereo that is in another room. Will this work?

this will work if you can reach your 'headphone' output from your computer to the RCA inputs on your stereo. But the length is only 25-feet...so it's not like you can run it across the room.

Well, it comes in up to 25 feet lengths. How far to your stereo? If the distance isn't too great, yes, it will work.

If your stereo has the RCA inputs like the white and red plugs and the cord is long enough it should work,

I bought it and yes it will play music. the only problem i saw is if you have them in different folders then it wont jump folder to folder.

It works with iTunes, so those devices should be fine. The blue tooth speaker will only play one speaker at a time, the WiFi ones will play in multiples. They work across the room, you don't have to be right next to it.

Yes you can.you only need to sync it with your laptop. I have played many downloaded music and it's fine

You can play MP3 files that are on your computer, but I haven't found a way to bypass radio-frontier to get to an internet source

Yes, it plays MP3's. My biggest complaint about this stereo is that its volume is extremely low. It also will not play *.wma files.

I don't know if it would work or not. I believe that using a flash drive would be way safer to try. Even still, I would invest in a cheap MP3 player. Don't plug your hard drive into your head unit.

If you have a Bluetooth enabled device you can stream music that way. Be wary though, over time we have had issues with the Bluetooth not syching right away. We have to turn the stereo off and on, then cycle through the various connection options to get to Bluetooth before it will synch. If that sounds like a hassle, the USB port works very well with iPhones and iPods.

This should work for that. I have mine set up to work with an old pair of B&O speakers, and it sounds great! It's not a super powerful amp, so it won't get all that loud, but it puts out good sound. It has both USB and RCA inputs so you can hook it up to a computer AND another external input.

This will transmit whatever you play on or stream through your computer to the receiver. My receiver is hooked up to my high-end stereo in my den so I stream or play whatever I want through a high fidelity system.Also, if it's not playing, just right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Playback devices," and select the "SB for iTunes." However, iTunes is irrelevant to this process. That's just a marketing gimmick.

I play my mp3 cds on it but I don't see any other mp3 capabilities beyond that

i know i'm late to the party but if the inputs are parallel then you do not want to do this as there is the chance you could damage one input device as the other on tries to drive it. The test would be is there an output signal present on the rca plugs when the mp3 is in use? If not you should be fine. Hondo

I don't think you can, it doesn't have the right ports for that hookup, the only way to play music on this device is to have a CD player, or any kind of MP3 player

If you mean from a laptop with 3.5mm headphone jack into a stereo receiver, then the answer is yes. I connected my Mediabridge cable from my laptop and mp3 player into the back RCA jacks of my stereo receiver and then played music over my home speakers. It worked fine.

The best answer is yes but only if your MP3 player is bluetooth compatible....

That should work, but Sonos may not be your best choice if you use a phone, ipod, or portable mp3 player as your primary music source. The Play:5 has one standard mini jack for input, and one for output that you can use for headphones. I just tested mine with a Philips portable mp3 player and headphones. That being said, however, there's a good chance that your phone and portable music files don't have enough fidelity to really benefit from the high quality sound these speakers can produce. If your phone has bluetooth, then you may also want to consider a portable bluetooth speaker that you can easily carry with you. I think the Logitech/UE speakers can even pair up with one another and you could put four of those around the house for less than the cost of a multi-room Sonos system

Sure, it should. That's what it's for. I have used mine to listen to music from my desktop to my bluetooth headset.
