Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used to manage media content playback. In particular implementations, systems and processes may include the ability to generate audio output from media content at a user device and detect an indication to move from a current location in the audio output. The systems and processes may also include the ability to determine a number of location indicators for the audio output, the location indicators associated with different locations in the audio output, select one of the location indicators, and generate audio output beginning near the selected location indicator.

Managing playback of media content with location data

Systems and associated processes for guiding users to provide more useful reviews are described. These systems and processes can provide guided reviews in certain embodiments by presenting questions to a user in the form of an interview. The questions can be relevant to the item being reviewed, and as such, may be specifically and dynamically selected based on the particular item under consideration. Many other criteria may be used to select the types of questions presented to users, examples of which will be described below. Presenting review questions to users can have the effect of reducing or eliminating the 'blank page' effect of having to write a review from scratch, with no guidance. Accordingly, review questions can potentially elicit more thorough and useful feedback than existing review systems in some embodiments.
