Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for media a simple user interface that can facilitate discovery of contextually relevant media content with minimal navigation are provided. For example, the disclosed user interface may present contextually relevant categories, sub-categories and media content items while concurrently playing a media content item predicted to likely be selected by the user.

User interface for media content playback

An electronic device provides, to a user, a user-curated playlist, the user-curated playlist including an ordered set of media items that were added by the user. While providing a first media item in the ordered set of media items, the electronic device receives a first user input selecting an option to include recommended media items in the user-curated playlist. In response to the first user input, the electronic device updates the user-curated playlist to include a first recommended media item, the first recommended media item selected without user intervention based at least in part on attributes of the user-curated playlist. The first recommended media item is positioned in the user-curated playlist in between media items that were added to the ordered set of media items by the user.

Systems and methods for interleaving recommended media items in a playlist

A method is provided for initiating a first shared playback session at a first device of a host user. The method includes, in response to receiving the request from the second device: in accordance with a determination that the second device is a first type of device, providing, to the second device, a first joining method for joining the first shared playback session and in accordance with a determination that the second device is a second type of device, providing, to the second device, a second joining method, distinct from the first joining method for joining the first shared playback session.

Methods and systems for providing personalized content based on shared listening sessions

An electronic device receives a request, from a first device of a host user, to initiate a first shared playback session for the first device and one or more additional devices. The electronic device streams media content from a first playback queue to the first device and to the one or more additional devices, the first playback queue including one or more media content items corresponding to the first shared playback session. The electronic device determines that the first device of the host user has left the first shared playback session and, in response, maintains the first playback queue to be accessed by the one or more additional devices. After the host user has left the first shared playback session, the electronic device provides one or more media content items from the first playback queue to at least one of the one or more additional devices.

An electronic device stores, for a first user of a media-providing service, a listening history corresponding to media content items provided by the media-providing service that have been previously consumed by the first user. The electronic device provides a shared playback queue to a first device of the first user and a second device of a second user. The electronic device identifies a source of a first media content item of the one or more media content items in the shared playback queue. Based on the identified source of the first media content item in the shared playback queue, the electronic device determines whether to include the first media content item in the listening history of the first user. The electronic device provides information for a second media content item to the first device of the first user based on the listening history of the first user.
