Does it make sense Sonos APP for Mac to be taking so much memory (~2GB) , or I am the only one having the issue with it ?

I’m also on (>2GB). I do have pretty big playlists and long queues on Spotify. I leave the app open for days, controlling the speakers through the iOS and Spotify apps too in the meantime.

I had big hopes the S2 app was going to bring a change in that but seems that it’s just a new skin for version 12.0. I understand the macOS app isn’t the priority but when I see nice third-party plugins on the app store for menu extensions for example, while the official app is bare-bone but still hogs my memory…  I can’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

I have a usage of 4GB atm for the Sonos app on mac and this happens very often. It was happening in the S1 app but still is on the S2. Is there a way to limit the memory usage?
