Wishlist for Sonos Controller Improvements

So on the old ask forum wishlist items would get lost. Thought I would post a topic where people could vote their biggest wish for controller software improvements.

Well, given the key UI changes over the last year, my priorities would still be having Sonos address:
1. Inconsistent UX due to differences between desktop and mobile controllers
2. Inconsistent UX due to individual play buttons deciding whether queue is ephemeral or persistent by default / not accounting for live/dead queue
3. Inconsistent (or just unfinished) "My Sonos" screen

All good. 1 and 3 don’t bother me but #2 is a major problem.

I have a question. If this is a thread with ongoing issues then why hasn't anyone from Sonos updated it in 2 years? Or commented?

Sonos does not comment on future plans (well rarely). Its actually surprising they publically stated the alexa, google, and airplay intergrations. Actually much more transparent on that then normal. They have been much more transparent on plans - they just aren't going to commit to firm release dates.

of the frequent requests though ... really only more native integration and interface changes (good or bad) have been addressed by Sonos. They truly don't really look much at individual user requests. Well they see them - but customization doesn't normally fit into their plans.

Sorry jay should say services. It is dependent on the service (like Pandora has the thumbs up in Sonos)
