A welcome functionality improvement was the double tap next track on the pause button. So a logical next step would be say a triple tap to go back a track... yes?

    Some of us can barely manage the double click reliably. Doubt I could do a triple more than one time out of ten!

    Sorted. No more than that because i can only count to ten with my clothes on and I'm already using one of my fingers to press the button.

    So it's probably about time the triple click to skip back got implemented, right?

    Really hope so. Seems stupid to be able to double tap to go next track but there's nothing to go back!

    I am sure Sonos are giving this development the priority it merits.

    Oh. My God. Look at what you've done. Is there a way to disable this, because my kids have figured it out and are listening to the same Raffi song over and over again.

    In the Sonos app, I believe turning off "Hardware Control Volume", which is under Settings>App Settings should make those buttons on the speakers non-functional. Who is Raffi?

    Have Sonos now implemented a way to go backward then on the buttons?

    In theory it's been in for some time. I say 'in theory' because, although it's now part of the system functionality, it doesn't work for me.
    Triple tapping invariably pauses or goes to the next track. There's no way to adjust the required 'tap speed' but you may have more success than me. I triple tap to try to go back and pretty soon have reached the end of the album..
