Curious as to why you use AirPlay 2, rather than stream within the Sonos app. No need for the Port at that point, the PLAY:3s do all the lifting, since AirPlay 2 isn’t required.
You could save a Port / Play 3 Group which might help bit.

I do that - but I dont think it really accelerates the process.
What would be nice is if Groups appeared as Airplay endpoints - or Auto Play worked with Airplay.
Autoplay only applies to the Line-In (or an HDMI-ARC in), and can only be set to a single room. With any other source, be it Airplay or the Sonos app, grouping is done manually. There are no groups that automatically form when a source is chosen, though for the Line-In, HDMI-ARC, and music through the Sonos app, groups are persistent after they are formed (Note: Groups are only persistent for Line-In and HDMI-ARC if ‘Include Grouped Rooms is set to On and ‘Ungroup on Autoplay’ is set to Off, respectively).

I have had this setup for mpore than 8 years and predates airplay support. And your question is kinda obnoxious - move along!

Missed that the Sonos App now support iTunes - do not use it much as the app interface drives me nuts.
You used to have to have all the music downloaded to a server to use iTunes.

Do you have an Apple Music subscription?
