Abstract
A server performs a method of controlling the manipulation of a playlist that includes a queue of media items to be played. In the method, a first electronic device is authorized to control the manipulation of the playlist. First geographic information that indicates a geographic location of the first electronic device and second geographic information that indicates a geographic location of a second electronic device are accessed. Based on the first geographic information and the second geographic information, the server determines whether the first and second electronic devices are located within a defined geographic proximity. In response to a determination that the first and second electronic devices are located within the defined geographic proximity, the second electronic device is authorized to manipulate the playlist.
