Can Sonos stop bickering with Google and give us Chromecast?

The only way we have to cast music from YouTube to Sonos is via the app… that is completelly garbage and useless - can’t even find a specific song I want to ear. This instead of giving us the option to just Cast (via Chromecast) directly to Sonos. 

 

I know you’re bickering with Google over some patents - or whatever - but guess what, your costumers doesn’t care about that. You’re degrading Android users experience just because you found a beef with Google. And that’s low… 

 

I bought a 400€+ soundbar that I can only play music via the stupid/useless app that I don’t want to. At least enable freaking bluetooth. Apple users are treated way different than Android ones and that’s not a good move. Because I don’t know if you know this, Sonos, but the resst of the world uses Android. 

 

I will definetelly not buy another Sonos product unless you add Chromecast. And I’m actually considering returning this one because of that. If you don’t care about Android users, why should I care for your brand? We don’t even get Trueplay.
