Abstract: The present technology pertains to steering a playlisting service toward media items that are likely to receive positive feedback from a user operating a client device. The present technology permits a request to play media items without requiring an input context. A playlist service can begin to receive feedback on the playback of the media items and the received playback can be utilized by a steering service in response to a steering request to identify media items for playback that are likely to receive positive feedback based on the feedback received on a sequence of previously played media items.

Abstract: The present technology pertains to automatically context labeling media items with relevant contexts, and further for algorithmically generating high quality playlists built around a context that are personalized to a profile of an account. This is accomplished by combining data from observed playlists, and data representing intrinsic properties of media items to predict contexts for media items.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing system can reduce startup delays for presenting remote media items. For example, when a user requests media content from a media service, the computing system can include information about the first media item to be played in the initial startup messages to reduce the number of roundtrips needed between client and server devices to present the first media item. A media item can include an introductory asset. The introductory asset can be a portion of the full media item that can be decrypted with a local key or not encrypted at all so that a media client can receive and start presenting the introductory media asset quickly while the full media item is being processed by the media client. In some implementations, the system can remove leading silence from the media item so that the amount of delay perceived by the user is reduced.

Abstract: The content items presented to a user account as part of a media station can be recorded in a content history index, which can be requested and presented to the user account. The content history can enable a user to revisit the content items included in the content history and/or provide feedback regarding the content items. The version of the content item returned to the user can be based on the client device used to request the content item. For example, a user that was presented a content item on their mobile device, can later request to revisit the content item on their PC and receive a version of the content item best suited for presentation by the PC, rather than the version presented on the mobile device.

Abstract: Generating a customized playlist may include identifying a user account for which a playlist is to be generated, where the user account is associated with a user listening history, a taste profile, and a social profile, identifying one or more friend accounts linked to the user account based on the social profile, obtaining an indication of a plurality of songs associated with one or more of the friend accounts, determining a listening history for the one or more plurality of songs based on the friend accounts, obtaining a subset of the plurality of songs based on the listening history of the plurality of songs, and generating a playlist from the subset of the plurality of songs.

Abstract: Some implementations allow users to create and share data including playlists. Such playlists may be subscribed to by other users. Changes to such playlists, such as updates by the curator of the playlist, must be propagated to subscribers in a timely manner while efficiently utilizing resources. Some implementations allow updates to be propagated using a push notification to cause client devices to request the update (push). Alternatively, updates may be made when the client devices of the subscribers next accesses the system (pull). An aggregator system may be used to make decisions on which users to send push notifications, and which users to wait to pull updates on their own. Additionally, the aggregator may determine that certain playlist updates should be distributed using push notifications. The aggregator may determine that only certain playlist subscribers should receive push notifications regarding playlist updates.

Abstract: Users can share a content stream and can create and/or edit playlists that include content items of the content stream. Each user device, or a subset of the user devices, can edit the playback commands of the content stream once it is being shared. Playback of the content items is synchronized between the sharing devices. If one device is associated with a content restriction, an alternate version may be provided to that device. The two versions can still be played synchronously with one another.

Abstract translation: 作为媒体站的一部分呈现给用户帐户的内容项可以被记录在可以被请求并呈现给用户帐户的内容历史索引中。 内容历史可以使用户能够重新访问包含在内容历史中的内容项目和/或提供关于内容项目的反馈。 返回给用户的内容项的版本可以基于用于请求内容项的客户端设备。 例如，在其移动设备上呈现内容项目的用户可以稍后请求重新访问其PC上的内容项目并且接收最适合于由PC呈现的内容项目的版本，而不是在 移动设备。
