Media content suggestion 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;
providing, via the computing system, an indication of the identified audio content to the media playback system;
receiving, via the computing system, data indicating one or more audio items that were selected from the identified audio content via the media playback system; and
providing, via the computing system to the media playback system, an indication of the one or more audio items that were selected from the identified audio content, the indication comprising respective sources from which the one or more audio items are retrievable by the media playback system.

Abstract
In an example implementation, a computing system receives zone data that identifies a particular zone of a playback system, where the particular zone includes one or more playback devices. The computing system identifies audio content based on the zone data. Identifying audio content 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 playback system. The computing system receives data indicating audio items that were selected from the identified audio content via the playback system and provides an indication of the audio items that were selected from the identified audio content, the indication comprising respective sources from which the audio items are retrievable by the playback system.
