Best Tool to Help You Play iTunes Audiobooks on Sonos

Method 1: Play iTunes audiobook on Sonos via the line-in connection

Using line-in connection is the most common method to play iTunes audiobooks on Sonos. Sonos supports to play music from either Internet or media devices like phones, tablets, computers and TVs which are connected. Though line-in is inconvenient to some extent, it is helpful for transferring files on Sonos. It is easy to achieve this procedure. What you need to do is simply connecting your external devices to Sonos speaker via an audio cable. After that it will stream the audiobook to your Sonos easily whenever you play iTunes files on your external devices.

But a bad news is that not all the Sonos products support this line-in connection. So if you use line-in connection to play the audiobook, you must authorize the specific device in order to play the iTunes audiobook on any media player you want. By the way, you can enable the “auto play” on the Sonos so that the audiobook can be played automatically when the external devices are connected. Else, you need to select “line-in” from the Sonos music menu on the Sonos Controller.
