Step 1: Copy music to your clipboard
In the first step, we need to copy the music that you would like to save on a MoodBlock into your clipboard.
If you are an Apple Music user:
- Open the Apple Music app.
- Search for an album, playlist, or song. In this case, we're looking for the album "Kiasmos" by Kiasmos.
- Click on the three dots "..." and "Share Album."
- Click on "Copy" to copy the link to the album to your clipboard.
- Now move on to step 2.
If you are a Spotify Premium user:
Open the Spotify app.
- Search for an album, playlist, or song. In this case, we're looking for the album "Kiasmos" by Kiasmos.
- Click on the three dots "..." and "Share."
- Click on "Copy Link" to copy the link to the album to your clipboard.
- Now move on to step 2.
Step 2: Save your link to a MoodBlock
Next, you will want to paste the link into the MoodBlocks App and save the music to a MoodBlock. Please note that you will require a "creative" MoodBlock with a color gradient to do so. You cannot change the music that is stored on other blocks, such as the Sonos Radio Blocks.
- Open the MoodBlocks App.
- Click on the bottom right menu and select "Allow Paste."
- You should now see the music that you would like to store on a Block.
- If you receive an error notification "Invalid Link," please make sure that you are trying to save a valid piece of content, such as an album or a playlist. A list of valid content can be found at the top of this page. If you have more issues saving music to a MoodBlock, please check out our troubleshooting guide for Apple Music or Spotify.
- Click on "Save to MoodBlock."
- Once the bottom window "Ready to Scan" appears, tap the MoodBlock with the top edge of your phone. You will see a checkmark to indicate that you have successfully saved the music.
- From this moment on, you can tap a MoodBlock to start playing this music on your Sonos system.
- You can change the music that is stored on a MoodBlock as many times as you like by following these steps.
- Enjoy! 🥳
