Types of favorites
Two types of favorites are supported: local favorites and source-specific favorites.
Local favorites are saved directly on the device and can be opened at any time. For example, individual podcast episodes, radio stations, playlists, albums, tracks, or inputs can be saved as local favorites.
In addition, certain sources such as Internet Radio and Podcasts support source-specific favorites. These favorites are managed within the respective source and can only be opened there.
For example, an entire podcast, including all available episodes, can be saved as a favorite within the Podcasts source. Internet radio stations can likewise be saved as favorites within the Internet Radio source.
ℹ To save an Internet radio station or podcast as a source-specific favorite, press and hold the Play/Pause button during playback. You can then find the saved entries in the Favorites menu of the respective source.
ℹ Local favorites remain permanently saved and are still available after a restart.
ℹ For Spotify, a maximum of 20 local favorites can be saved. To save local Spotify favorites, you must sign in on the device or via the sonoro audio App. After using Spotify Connect for the first time, local Spotify favorites can also be saved directly.
ℹ The sonoro audio App can also be used to copy locally configured favorites from one device to all other devices on the network.
ℹ When copying favorites between the sonoro AMPLIFIER and the sonoro MAESTRO Quantum Signature or MEISTERSTÜCK 3, the sound settings (Bass, Treble and Balance) stored as factory-set favorites cannot be transferred or overwritten. This applies in both directions, regardless of the position of the sound settings in the favorites list. To copy favorites fully between these devices, first replace the corresponding sound-setting favorites on the MAESTRO Quantum Signature or MEISTERSTÜCK 3 with other favorites, such as music sources or playlists. The sound settings remain accessible via Settings → Sound settings even after the favorite presets have been overwritten.
