An example implementation may involve a media playback system detecting two or more playback devices of a given type. The implementation may further involve transmitting, to a particular playback device of the detected playback devices, an instruction that causes the particular playback device to emit a given sound. The implementation may also involve receiving an identification of the particular playback device and displaying, via a graphical interface, one or more prompts to join the particular playback device into the media playback system.

An example implementation may involve a media playback system receiving message(s) indicating that a first playback device is available for configuration into a zone of a media playback system. The implementation may further involve identifying one or more second playback devices and determining that the first playback device and the one or more second playback devices are compatible with certain bonded zone configurations. The implementation may also involve detecting selection of a bonded zone configuration from among the compatible bonded zone configurations and displaying an indication of one or more particular second playback devices that are compatible with the selected bonded zone configuration. The implementation may involve detecting selection of at least one particular second playback device from among the one or more particular second playback devices and causing the first playback device to form the selected bonded zone configuration with the selected at least one particular second playback device.
