Default source when turning on power

Maybe I am the only one who is disconnecting his Sonos (connect) from the power source, but what I would like is that I could define a default source that starts playing when I turn on the power on my Sonos.

      Really - do they use cheap components then?!
      I don't know. You could consider asking Sonos.

        I can't believe that this option has not been adopted after all these years. I was surprised the first time my wireless router was rebooted to find none of my speakers remembered their source. Pain in the ass setting them all up again. I think the inclusion of a toggle feature would be ideal so people have a choice on the default behaviour.

          I agree, a default source of music for each speaker would be nice. And technically not that hard to implement.
          E.g. We love to move our PLAY:1 from inside the house to the outside during the summer time (almost daily).
          It would be nice to just continue the audio stream after hitting the play/pause button...

            I don't understand why people are unplugging the Sonos devices to begin with? They are designed to be used in a room, and it will work as you'd like if you stop turning it off. I have 8 Sonos connect amps and 1 Sonos connect - 1 for each zone in my house where I want music and I leave them on/in standby at all times. Why make it harder than it needs to be?

            The list of songs disappears anyway, even if you do not switch off the device. I have no idea why this is happening. I have 10 devices and I sometimes have an empty list. It's very annoying. Is it so difficult for Sonos to remember the playlist? If it can not be done on the device being turned on, it can let it replicate in its network.
