Media content based on playback zone awareness
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, via a computing system associated with a service provider, zone data that identifies a particular zone of a media playback system, wherein the zone data indicates a selection of the particular zone, and wherein the particular zone includes one or more playback devices;
identifying, via the computing system, audio content based on the zone data, wherein identifying audio content based on the zone data comprises determining that particular audio content is preferred in the particular zone and identifying audio content corresponding to the particular audio content that is preferred in the particular zone; and
providing, via the computing system, an indication of the identified audio content to the media playback system.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing audio content based on playback zone awareness. In an example implementation, a computing system receives, via one or more network interfaces, zone data that identifies a particular zone of a media playback system, where the zone data indicates a selection of the particular zone, and where the particular zone includes one or more playback devices. The computing system identifies audio content based on the zone data. Identifying audio content based on the zone data may involve determining that particular audio content is preferred in the particular zone and identifying audio content corresponding to the particular audio content that is preferred in the particular zone. After identifying the audio content, the computing system provides an indication of the identified audio content to the media playback system.
