I just had a thought...Here are a few statements that I think we'll all agree with..
1. Sonos is a really good product.
2. Sonos has really good hardware designers.
3. Sonos has really good software designers.
So, how did this happen? How is it that a app that frustrates a lot of people actually made it to prime time?
Here's my thought on it.. Maybe they purposely made the app a bit more confusing so that users would try and start using Alexa?
I think what’s really happening is Spotify, Pandora you name it want control. Think about it, you log into pandora and there is an Ad front and center. When you use something like Sonos or another product you loose that ad revenue.
I think Sonos is making it hard to use because they get a cut of the ad revenue from the native AP. Makes sense. Yanking it out of C4 and other control systems was the first step.
If this is the path they are all going down then Pandora, Spotify etc etc are going to have to start making hardware.
