    Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention can facilitate a smooth listening experience, during which a user can enjoy continuous music play despite moving between settings or using a device with restricted playing capabilities. While a first player device is playing songs from an audio collection, one or more other devices can be evaluated to determine whether one should take over the play. This determination can be made by comparatively evaluating properties of the other devices, such as their power source, battery charge (if applicable), network connection, access to a song, and/or device type. When a determination is made to transfer the play between devices, a message can be sent to the new player device that indicates when to begin play and which song to play. The first player device can cease playing substantially at the same time that the new player device begins play.

    Abstract: A mobile device can communicate with a wearable device to automatically detect when a stowed mobile device becomes unstowed and/or when a mobile device that is in use become stowed. Detection of stowing or unstowing of the mobile device can be based on comparison of data from sensors such as proximity sensors, motion sensors, and/or other environmental sensors between devices. When unstowing is detected, the mobile device can prepare itself for use based in part on context information provided by the wearable device, e.g., by activating a user interface component and/or launching an app based on the context information. When stowing is detected, the mobile device can inactivate a user interface component.
