Abstract: Example techniques may involve temporary configuration of a media playback system in a place of accommodation, such as a hotel. In particular, the media playback system in a guest's room is configured with one or more settings of the guest's home media playback system. Example settings include user accounts of a various services, such as streaming audio services and/or voice assistant services. Other example settings include artists, albums, audio tracks, audio books, stations, and other audio content that the guest previously designated as a favorite using their home media playback system. When the guest leaves (e.g., checks-out of) of the place of accommodation, these settings are removed from the media playback system in the guest's room.

Abstract: Example techniques described herein involve a media playback system of one or more playback devices that are operable in a plurality of modes. Operating in a given mode may enhance a use case corresponding to the mode. For instance, the plurality of modes may include a foreground mode, which may enhance active listening to the playback device. The plurality of modes may also include a background mode, which may enhance passive listening to the playback device by facilitating other activities during passive listening. In some example implementations, the plurality of modes are non-contemporary; when operating in one mode, the playback device will not be operating in the other modes, and vice versa.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for accessing media content on a mobile device. In one embodiment, a user may add media from a mobile device carried by the user to a queue of media that may be rendered by a media system in communication with the mobile device. In one example, the user may select a subset of media from the mobile device to add to the queue, such that only the subset of media is accessible to the media system while ihe non- selected media on the mobile device remains private. In one case, the mobile device may become disconnected from the media system such that the added subset of media is no longer accessible by the media system. In this case, the media system may search for media equivalent to the subset of media, and replace the subset of media in the queue with the equivalent media.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于访问移动设备上的媒体内容的实施例。 在一个实施例中，用户可以将来自用户携带的移动设备的媒体添加到可由与移动设备通信的媒体系统呈现的媒体队列。 在一个示例中，用户可以从移动设备选择媒体的子集以添加到队列，使得只有媒体子集可以被媒体系统访问，而移动设备上的未选择的媒体保持私有。 在一种情况下，移动设备可能会与媒体系统断开连接，使得添加的媒体子集不再可被媒体系统访问。 在这种情况下，媒体系统可以搜索与媒体子集相当的媒体，并且用等效媒体替换队列中的媒体子集。

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for assisting a user with setting up an audio system with audio content services the user is already registered with. One method may involve receiving a list of a plurality of audio services supported by an audio system, selecting an audio service from the list of plurality of audio services, and determining whether a computing device application corresponding to the audio service is present on a computing device operated by the user and associated with the audio system. If the computing device application is present on the computing device operated by the user, the audio service may be set up with the audio system based on the user's registration information. In one case, the setup of the audio system with the audio service may require additional user input. In another case, the setup of the audio system with the audio service may be automatic.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for playback of audio content in an "audition mode." A system may be providing audio content to be rendered by a group of playback devices, when receiving a request to audition a second audio content with at least one playback device from the group of playback devices. The system may then suspend rendering of the first audio content at the at least one playback device, and provide the second audio content to be rendered by the at least one playback device for a duration of time. Upon exiting audition mode, either by completion of the second audio content, expiration of the duration of time, or request to exit audition mode, the system may resume rendering of the first audio content by the at least one playback device.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法被提供用于以“试听模式”播放音频内容。 当从所述一组播放装置接收到用至少一个播放装置试听第二音频内容的请求时，系统可以提供要由一组重放装置呈现的音频内容。 然后，系统可以暂停在至少一个播放设备处的第一音频内容的呈现，并且提供由至少一个播放设备呈现的持续时间的第二音频内容。 在退出试听模式时，通过完成第二音频内容，持续时间的到期或退出试听模式的请求，系统可以通过至少一个播放设备恢复对第一音频内容的再现。
