    This app went live to help Sonos (a manufacturer of internet-connected speakers) in getting ready to overhaul their mobile tools with a new controller app.

    This is much different than Ragga or Ganna apps; and have current support with industry leading 38 music-streaming services.

    Per #-Link-Snipped-#blog - "Start typing an artist and discover their new album, radio station and more. Search for a track and discover all the versions across services including live performances, remixes and covers."

    Wonderful feature!!

    Nice update from Sonos—bringing multiple streaming services into one app with universal search and quick controls is a big win for music lovers. Features like cross-fade and easy shuffle really improve the listening experience. For people who mostly stream on their phones, Spotify (including mod APK versions some users talk about) is also popular for centralized playlists and discovery, though the official app is always the safest choice.
