It's so good but still so buggy. Very much a love-hate relationship.

Really? Are there certain services you find to be buggy? I feel like Sonos is one of the least buggy pieces of tech in my house. That's what I love about it. It just works, I don't have to explain to non-technical family members how to work around issues, etc. But we almost exclusively use it for Apple Music and Spotify, so maybe there are some rough edges we haven't encountered.

  try playing music that is stored on your phone the sonos... it keeps cutting the effing song off short and starting the next song too early. a bug that's been around forever and they plain refuse to fix it.

    Ok, yeah, that's definitely not a use case I have tried. (In fact, one of the biggest reasons I switched to Sonos from using Airplay is that I wanted to get away from relying on my phone's network connection to have the music play.)

    I do this all the time. Have you contacted Sonos for help?

  Listening to some podcasts requires some distasteful hoop jump throughing.

  Adjusting volume from my phone does not work most of the time. Selecting sonos as output device from spotify must be done a few times before it sustains (although that might be a spotify problem).

  It's not so much a bug as defective by design: 1. Have guests over. 2. Want to play music. 3. Get out phone. 4. Launch Sonos app. 5. "Hi, we think now would be a great time to update the firmware on your Sonos devices. We could have done this at any time during the last two weeks since you used any of your Sonos devices, but your time is worthless to us, so we'll make you babysit the update for the next 5 minutes. Hope you weren't launching the app because you wanted to play music right now." At a minimum they should have the decency to launch the app-store review flow during this forced delay so that they'd have some public recognition of the supreme annoyance this process causes.
