[![Sonos NewAppFamily](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb09343e9e970d-150wi "Sonos NewAppFamily")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201bb09343e9e970d-popup?ref=hypebot.com)I love my **wireless Sonos speakers**, but the **app has always left a bit to be desired**. Now Sonos is a**ttacking the problem on two fronts** – the ability to [control the system](https://www.hypebot.com/sonos-smartly-extends-speaker-control-to-spotify-app-amazon-echo/) directly from your favorite music apps (**Spotify** integration is coming next month), and a **major app upgrade**.

Users can now tap a playlist, song or album and it plays instantly, instead of having to select “Play Now” or “Play Next.”And when that song or playlist ends Sonos will now immediately play whatever is next.

Sonos has also made choosing the next song and on the fly playlist creation easier.
