Is creating a group the only way to play something in multiple rooms?

 I have 3 speakers in 3 different rooms. Most times I only want to listen to the speaker in the room I am in but there are times where I may want to play speaker 1 and 2, or 1 and 3, or 2 and 3, etc. It seems like I have to create a group and then delete it if I want to play on different combinations of speakers. These are S2 speakers that are downgraded to S1. Ideally, I would like to play something on a speaker and then check and uncheck other speakers as desired.

Only create groups if you want to save a configuration.  On the fly grouping can be done from the group screen, accessible via the grouping icon (little rounded square with a triangle at the bottom) found on the Now Playing screen or on each room in the Rooms selection screen.

I’m not convinced that what you’re thinking of ‘grouping’ is the same thing as most of us do. It’s a relatively easy thing to do, following the instructions at https://support.sonos.com/en-us/article/group-and-ungroup-rooms

It is really designed to be done and undone at a moment’s notice. Takes less than five seconds to press the buttons.

You do not need to save rooms as a group. You can group/ungroup rooms on the fly:
