Configure a tablet in guided / single app mode for music playback. Trivial stuff.

  That's a fine solution if you have an extra one laying around. But I don't and I'm hesitant to buy a tablet just to drive a speaker.

    Is it even more expensive to drive a regular speaker with a dedicated tablet than a Sonos speaker?
    • jtuente 9y ago
      Yeah cost is definitely not going to be a reasonable factor wrt Sonos equipment comparison. I think the tablet being misplaced, broken or otherwise abused is more troublesome.

  If you've got a spare tablet laying around, I'll take it.

  That would be trivial, but the small change in experience diminishes the value. If I want music in my bedroom, I don't want to have to walk to my living room to get the tablet, and I don't want to install a tablet in every room with instructions for how to use with Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, Pocket Casts, Apple Music, our networked media SSD, etc. or where I happen to want to pull music from. I don't want to have extra devices everywhere that require their own cords and physical spaces. Sonos allows my wife and I to simply play whatever music we want, wherever we want, with no hassle. And it sounds great.
