Can I create a "button" to automate playing music on my Sonos?

Is there a way to automate playing music on my sonos? We have a play one in one of our bathrooms and the kids always put their music on it and when I use it I don't want to go through the multiple menus to play my music.

We use Rhapsody and the kids usually have a playlist that they play. I usually use one of the radio stations 80's rock.

On the sonos controller you have to go through 4-5 menu's to get to this particular station and it is laborious.

I'm thinking of a "button" a zee wave button, an amazon "dash" button or something similar that has a single purpose. Push it and it sends the proper commands to sonos to tell it to play rhapsody channel "80's rock" on this play1 at this volume. Thats all it does. We could have another button that plays the kids play list. No need to navigate the controller at all, just push and play.

Has this been done? Can this be done. Seems like it would be a great feature.

    Why not use the Play button/controls on the top of every Sonos unit?
