Sonos have one of the worst music apps I have never seen in a desktop
The visual aspects and the options are very poors and the way it manages the library is the worst intuitive and usable ways to run...Please tell SONOS if you are agree.

No worries. It's infinitely better than my Spanish.
- Have access to my ridiculous library in a small column
The 3 panes are re-sizable, at least to a degree.
- Not being able to order my library by date of the disc or by news in my library, cities, etc.
That's a not infrequent request. Unfortunately Sonos doesn't store a date tag, and given that index space is severely constrained to maximise track capacity it's highly unlikely that any changes will be made in this area. Many users simply prefix the album name with the year.
- You can not choose a start view with the library when you start the application.
Actually I agree this would be nice. The controller remembers the last room, so why not a menu position.
- Not be able to search all services at once.
Agreed it would be a nice option to have an 'all sources' in the dropdown menu.
- Not having a decent podcast service
That's nothing to do with the controller. Services are being added all the time, but it takes a willingness from the service provider to interface to Sonos' open API.
- Can not hide the view rooms if I only use it in one or do not want to see that information.
You can squeeze that pane, but not eliminate it totally.
- Not able to change or choose the configuration of what I want it to do when double clicking on a song or folder (substitute queue, queue, put at the beginning of queue ...)
That could be a nice option too, at least for the Desktop controller. Some would also want that kind of flexibility in the iOS/Android controllers.
In the end up to the volume seems to me that it has a little progressive use and coarse
You can in fact adjust the volume by 1% at a time using a mouse pointer. The shortcut keys or mousewheel move it in increments of 2%

Spoken as a true blue installer who misses over selling proprietary hardware. Thanks for proving the point.
And by the way, if it's taking you "a lot of extra work" to pin an app and plug in a wireless charger, time to find another area of expertise.
Thanks for your opinion and information, the important for me is that a very good product, sound, design, etc. like the sonos speaker is only working with their app, and as the speaker I expected one of the best program to play and manage the music and in my opinion the app (at the deskpot because is the one I use) is very far of the quality I expected and it is as important as the speaker because you must use the app as a whole product... for me is dificult to understan how there are not many complaints and there are those who defend the application as it is, I'm completly surprised.
