Would be nice to set up a couple of default groups and just be able to select those instead of alway having to go individually and select. I have 9 rooms on Sonos. Usually have a group of 3 together and a group of 2 together.

      This would be great. I have once 3 ConnectAmps and once 2 ConnectAMPs always in one group. I sometimes addd more other zones to this, so it would be perfect if I could put them together in one group and give it a new name. So I would see only one group instead of 3 in all day use. If I want to change this, it could be done in the settings.

      This is realy the only thing I miss on sonos!

        Akin to this is the often-requested "Revert player to prior group/volume after Autoplay is ended" feature. I would like to see that implemented, it seems so simple.

        I posted this idea of default/super groups to the french support team before being sent here by them. I still can't realize this idea is at least 2 years old, asked by so many people and is still NOT implemented !

        Hey product guys, what about stopping adding new fancy useless online services,  redesigning a perfect app into a bad one, or forcing us to buy a new iPad every 6 months : just listen to your customers !

          We only have a simple setup connected to my surround system and CD player, it would be nice to have a default group with the Play5 and connect line in, set up so I dont have to go into a controller every time I switch on.

          I use my bedroom Sonos to wake up to. But then I have to click three times to join it back with the other six. How about moving the "Party mode - all play" button to the top screen?

          Would be great if we can start with groups instead of components.
          will reduce a lot of clicking.

          Agree completely. Please add groups, Sonos!

          Hi Sonos official reps.  Would it be possible to have a reply to this request? Is it planned? Or has it been ruled out?

          At its simplest the request is to have pre-defined groups.  These predefined groups could just be added to the set of rooms (so for example there could be a "ground floor" or "party" room as well as "living room", "dining room"), which would mean the existing controller UI wouldn't have to change except for settings. Alternatively they could be named something else: groups, zones. Then the UI would have to change to allow these be simply selected.

          I would like to see more group options available in the Sonos app.

          I would also like to preset the default volume for each individual speaker in a group. This way, when the group is enabled, the speakers are at a known volume.
