Abstract
An example implementation may involve a computing system receiving, from a media playback system, a request for an indication of a playhead pointer for a particular queue of media items. The implementation may also involve the computing system identifying a position of a playhead pointer within the particular queue of media items. Each position in the queue may correspond to a media item. The implementation may further involve the computing system sending, to the media playback system, an indication of the playhead pointer. The indication of the playhead pointer indicates the assigned position of the playhead pointer.
