Feature Request - Ungroup all other speakers using touch control

I would like to request the following feature:

Let’s say you have many rooms with speakers in each of these. You are currently playing music in one room, but are going to one of your other rooms. In this situation, you are currently able to continue listening to the same music in this new room, by holding down the play/pause button, and grouping with the other room, but since you have already left this other room, it would be nice if you could instead just transfer the music from the other room, to the new room, and not have it continue to also play in the first room.

I suggest implementing this by e.g. a double tap on the play/pause button, while holding down the button during the second tap. So if you just long press on this button, it groups with the previous speaker, but if you double tap + long press, it transfers music to this room (basically grouping with one of the rooms already playing, and when you release, removes all other speakers from this group)

I personally think this would be an amazing feature to have, making it easy to transfer music from one room to another, when moving around your house.

This can be done with Sonos Voice Control. What speakers do you have - your profile doesn’t say.

Great idea!

Hi nik9669a, thank you for suggesting this. I still think it will be an amazing feature to be able to do this using touch controls, since you might not own a speaker with voice control, or you might not want to use voice control. I think it would be a simple and elegant addition, especially since it fits pretty well with the already existing ability to group speakers together.

Agreed; I just thought it might serve as a solution for you and others in the short term.
