A request to play a media content item is received. It is determined whether the play request is ambiguous. Responsive to determining that the play request is ambiguous, then it is determined whether to play a suspended media content item or an alternate media content item. The determination can be made based on a length of time that the suspended media content item has been suspended, a media content item type, or a state, among other factors. Responsive to the determination, playback of the suspended or alternate media content item is initiated.

Responding to ambiguous play requests

The various implementations described herein include methods and devices for identifying and presenting content to users. In one aspect, a method includes providing a domain specific language (DSL) tool to a user of the computing device and receiving a plurality of user inputs via the DSL tool. The plurality of user inputs includes: an input identifying a DSL object corresponding to a media pool; an input identifying a DSL object corresponding to a mutator to be applied to the media pool; and inputs identifying a plurality of DSL objects corresponding to respective objectives for a media set list. The method also includes generating the media set list from the media pool based on the mutator and the objectives and presenting information about the generated media set list to the user.

A system for refinement of a voice query interpretation interprets a voice query received at a voice-enabled device to identify commands responsive to the voice query for execution at the voice-enabled device, and enables refinement of the interpretation of the voice query through a graphical user interface generated and displayed at a GUI-capable device. The graphical user interface includes a set of selectable options relating to the voice query and identifying a refinement of the interpretation of the voice query to enable control and/or adjustment of commands to be executed by the voice-enabled device. For example, if one of the selectable options is selected, then a command associated with the selected option is identified and executed by the voice-enabled device.
