Spotify primarily breaks the experience by making it hard for me to find something I want to listen to in the moment. Discovery Weekly used to be a great way to surface new things by having me listen to the same songs again and again but now I’m not commuting I’m not using it.
Sonos takes it to a whole new level by having a UI so poor that it sometimes leaves me not even wanting to listen anymore. After clicking about a little I just give up and put BBC Radio 6 on.
I would love a mode where there were just 2 album covers visible on screen from my collection and an endless scroll until I hit something I wanted.

Spotify Connect is their single most important feature for me. The only reason to open the Sonos app is to re-group speakers and that‘s basically a shortcut from the Spotify app anyway.
