Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for predicting user and media-playback device states are provided. Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for representing cached, user-selected, and streaming content are also provided.

Media content playback with state prediction and caching

A method, which may be performed at an electronic device, such as a media server associated with a media-providing service, causes a set of media items to be provided to a user based on identifying performance listings relevant to the user. The method includes determining a list of one or more performance listings of artists relevant to a user based on a media consumption history of the user, the media consumption history describing media content items previously delivered to the user by a media content server, and a listening profile of a second user, distinct from the first user, the listening profile identifying media content and artists played by the second user via the media content server. The method includes providing one or more media items to the user, the one or more media items selected based on the list of one or more performance listings.

System and method for generating a personalized concert playlist

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing access to media content associated with an artist scheduled for performance. A media application enables display of a playlist personalized for a user, based on a location of the user, a list of artists scheduled for performance, and a media consumption history of the user. An input action causes a media server to populate the playlist with media content. The media server determines the location of the user, retrieves those performance listings within a predetermined distance, retrieves the media consumption history of the user, filters the performance listings based on the media consumption history to obtain a set of artists having performance listings relevant to the user, selects media content items associated with each artist, and organizes the selected media content items within the playlist.

Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for caching media content at a media-playback device are provided. Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for representing the cached, user-selected, and streaming content are also provided.
