Abstract

A first electronic device is wireless connected to an audio output device that is also concurrently wirelessly connected with a second electronic device that is different from the first electronic device and playing first audio corresponding to first audio data transmitted by the second electronic device to the audio output device. The first electronic device, in response to detecting a user request to play a second audio that is associated with a media item, transmits to the audio output device second audio data corresponding to the second audio. In accordance with the second audio data being transmitted to the audio output device, the audio output device ceases playing the first audio and begins playing the second audio.
