Do people really play music at home that often? The once or twice a year I do I just put the Pandora app on roku or something

This thing takes care of the sound for my whole place.  It's the polka-dot stick vacuum of sound things.

I am new to the Apple sphere, is there a better way to listen to my Apple Music sub on the Apple TV than airplay?

Hmm, I just play jazz during those activities and hear music from unusual sources

don't know anything about apple music...

my usage pattern is basically just streaming anything off my PC to phone using Plex and airplaying that to one of my Apple TV -> receiver combos (hooked up via optical).

take phone out of pocket, set which receiver i want it to play to, pick something to play in plex.  extremely convenient for me

We constantly play music everywhere but we probably wouldn't if sonos didn't make it so simple. Literally if I had to use a remote or hit a power button or something I wouldn't do it.

true the fiber boxes can be used as a standalone chromecast video/audio...but they don't pair up in the chromecast audio grouping world...and still have speakers that don't have a fiber box.  Google home will hook into the chromecast audio grouping world and make the whole thing Alexa'like.  Does Sonos have voice command?

Plex app on new apple tv is by far the best iteration of the app I've ever seen.
