My latest SONOS Installation - a combination of iTunes, Networks and the 80s

My recent network troubleshooting job and SONOS installation used a lot of my skills.

SONOS setup
CD Ripping to MP3
USB
Network Storage Devices
Laptops
PCs
Internet Troubleshooting
Installing and Configuring Wireless Routers
Installing Wireless Range Extenders
Cabling

Phew, what a result though. I love the SONOS system and my client was a big 80s music fan and our test music playlist included.
Debarge - rythm of the night
Flock of Seagulls - polaroid
Deff Lepard - Animal

and also
Bobby Womack - 110th St
Cat Stevens - moon shadow

It's amazing what you can achieve in 1 day.

Setting up the SONOS multi-room music system

"At first I was afraid, I was petrified" with the thought of configuring a SONOS multi room system.
The instructions said it was as easy as 123, but I couldn't find a diagram anywhere that showed me how it all worked.

As a software and network specialist of 14 years, I like to know what's going on so there are no surprises. I'd found out about possible intereference, a little about networking and bridging, but I still needed to understand more. I'd set up networks and wirelessly enabled devices before and I know how troublesome they can be.

A few rummages on the internet later and I was almost there. Still no diagram, so I had to go for a leap of faith.
