yeah, similiar experience. I've got a play 3 and the think it's quite a pain. I would never buy a sonos or recommend it to anyone, it's a poorly supported walled garden which only introduces features to the newer speakers and is not even working that well.

I have a 3 (among a few other Sonos products) and it’s literally the easiest thing to use.

Maybe it’s because I’m no longer in the business of amassing a horde of mp3s and instead use Spotify and amazon music.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t opened the Sonos app in months, and instead use Alexa’s integration or Spotify’s integration to play my music.

I'm in the same camp as you. I love Spotify and have 0 interest in amassing and maintaining my own music collection any more. Ever since they added the ability to play directly from the Spotify app to Sonos I couldn't be happier.
