Audio track selection and playback
A playback device detects a first playback condition and a second playback condition related to an identified first user of a first media playback system. The playback device identifies an audio track associated with each of the first playback condition and the second playback condition. The playback device detects a third playback condition related to a geographical location, and based on the detected third playback condition, plays back audio content beginning with the identified audio track.
1. A playback device comprising:
at least one processor;
a tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:
identifying a first user of a first media playback system in which the playback device is operating;
detecting a first playback condition related to the first user;
detecting a second playback condition related to the first user;
identifying an audio track associated with each of the first playback condition and the second playback condition;
detecting a third playback condition related to a geographical location;
based on the detected third playback condition, playing back audio content beginning with the identified audio track.
2. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein the first playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a time of day.
3. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein the second playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a desired genre of music.
4. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein the third playback condition comprises a weather-related playback condition for the geographical location.
5. The playback device of claim 1 , further comprising program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:
identifying a second user of the first media playback system;
based on identifying the first user and the second user of the first media playback system, imposing a fourth playback condition related to the first user and the second user; and
discontinuing playback of the audio content only after the fourth playback condition is satisfied.
6. The playback device of claim 5 , wherein the fourth playback condition comprises receiving a command from each of the first user and the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content.
7. The playback device of claim 6 , wherein receiving a command from the first user to discontinue playback of the audio content comprises receiving a message from a computing device associated with the first user, and wherein receiving a command from the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content comprises receiving a voice input from the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content.
8. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a playback device to perform functions comprising:
identifying a first user of a first media playback system in which the playback device is operating;
detecting a first playback condition related to the first user;
detecting a second playback condition related to the first user;
identifying an audio track associated with each of the first playback condition and the second playback condition;
detecting a third playback condition related to a geographical location;
based on the detected third playback condition, playing back audio content beginning with the identified audio track.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the first playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a time of day.
10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the second playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a desired genre of music.
11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the third playback condition comprises a weather-related playback condition for the geographical location.
12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 8 , further comprising program instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the playback device to perform functions comprising:
identifying a second user of the first media playback system;
based on identifying the first user and the second user of the first media playback system, imposing a fourth playback condition related to the first user and the second user; and
discontinuing playback of the audio content only after the fourth playback condition is satisfied.
13. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 12 , wherein the fourth playback condition comprises receiving a command from each of the first user and the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content.
14. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein receiving a command from the first user to discontinue playback of the audio content comprises receiving a message from a computing device associated with the first user, and wherein receiving a command from the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content comprises receiving a voice input from the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content.
15. A method carried out by a playback device, the method comprising:
identifying a first user of a first media playback system in which the playback device is operating;
detecting a first playback condition related to the first user;
detecting a second playback condition related to the first user;
identifying an audio track associated with each of the first playback condition and the second playback condition;
detecting a third playback condition related to a geographical location;
based on the detected third playback condition, playing back audio content beginning with the identified audio track.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the first playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a time of day.
17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the second playback condition is established by the first user and comprises a desired genre of music.
18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the third playback condition comprises a weather-related playback condition for the geographical location.
19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising:
identifying a second user of the first media playback system;
based on identifying the first user and the second user of the first media playback system, imposing a fourth playback condition related to the first user and the second user; and
discontinuing playback of the audio content only after the fourth playback condition is satisfied.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the fourth playback condition comprises receiving a command from each of the first user and the second user to discontinue playback of the audio content.
