Can you play a playlist from a DLNA file server on the main speakers and stream that music to multiply devices at the same time?

Yes you can play from DLNA but not to multiple devices? I think you are confusing this with 7.2 system. This has only one "surround room" therefore only one output/set of speakers. If that answers your question

It will play from the server it does not stream to anything else,any other devices would have to access the server.Hope this helps.

I haven't tried that feature. We are having a difficult time to get it to shuffle in a playlist so I would think if you assigned it all to the playlist it will play it. To be honest, this wasn't a good purchase...freezes up quite a bit when trying maneuver from folder to folder.

I imagine so. But if you're just playing music off your sd card you can run em together via the auxiliary cable

Not sure on the physics, but you could daisy chain each speaker to another speaker. This unit doesn't have the power to push that many speakers with much volume, but it might work in a low-level / "background music" type setting.

Either one. I have 3 on my network to different areas of the house. You could use a splitter to run the audio to 2 stereos but you wouldn't have the option of playing different songs.

That would depend on the source. Each speaker can only sync to one device. I am using a Synology NAS box as the source and it will allow me to simultaneiusly play to 3 different Bluetooth devices but they are independent playlists and not synchronized to each other.

From iTunes on a computer you can select airplay to multiple speakers. But from an ios device you can only send to one at a time.

I believe you can, yes. There is also a microSD slot so you can port over music easily.

Yes, just connect via Bluetooth. Once connected to your controlling device (OS independent) You just run any application that plays audio.

Yes you can. This I/O gives you an out put connection to hookup speakers and a headset hookup for cueing your music..

I don't think you can stream (or push) music to multiple Airplay devices from an iOS device. BUT, that is easily possible from a Mac computer, I do this frequently at home to play the same music in the living room, office and the kitchen.The free "Remote" app from Apple for the iPhone/iPad will let you remotely control iTunes on your Mac from anywhere on the same network. Change songs, playlists, etc... and also select for multiple Airplay speakers to play music from your Mac. Likely a similar experience to what you are asking in your question, but an extra step or two involved. Easy enough to do though.

You certainly can, that is how I almost always use the player. I have a short flash drive that I populated with music from my computer that I plug into the system and it plays it with no problem.

no don't think so . no multi-pin input . but it will take a large usb drive of music .

I'm wondering the same. In your case though, since you've already got 6 Sonos devices, wouldn't it be best to get a playbar/woofer setup instead so that you can fwd it to all of your speakers?

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

No you can not. One unit has an actual player built in and then just connects to the other monitor.
