I like the Sonos speaker. But the app is absolutely terrible and buggy. It takes quite literally a full minute to play a song initially and often times failed to load /play altogether. Oddly the app worked much better with my Apple Music subscription years ago and has been just getting progressively worse. Someone needs to provide a hack so I can just use Sonos like a regular dumb Bluetooth speaker tbh.

I'm in a similar boat... my speakers got so much worse after the app update. The old version was still buggy, but wasn't THIS bad.

Anyway, I think there might be some third-party firmware (or at least frontends) for Sonos speakers? I haven't tried them out yet (too lazy), but if you're the tinkering type, might be worth looking into? And if you find a good one, please do report back :)
