An electronic device receives a request, from a host user, to initiate a shared playback session. The electronic devices streams media from a playback queue for the shared playback session to the first device and to additional devices. The electronic device determines that the host user has left the shared playback session, and, in response, maintains the playback queue to be accessed by the additional devices. After the host user has left the shared playback session, the electronic device provides media from the playback queue to at least a second device of the additional devices. While providing the media the playback queue, the electronic device receives a request, from the second device, to leave the playback queue and, in response, provides a second media, that is not included in the playback queue, to the second device. The electronic device ceases to provide the playback queue to the second device.

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

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.

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.
