I bought one of Sonos' speakers ages ago on the basis that I'm probably the target market. I'm tone deaf and like background music. Their software annoys me to the point where I bought no further speakers and can't remember where the trial one is any more. There's a mandatory app and a ritual for connecting to WiFi which is presumably intended to drive people to return the thing before it ever makes a noise. If you succeed in connecting, it forgets what Spotify is about half the time you ask it to play anything. I never did get it to stream audio from a local machine which really should be a feature.
