Abstract
A mobile electronic device (device) operating with other devices form a group for wireless coordinated playout of audio media content. The processor performs operations that determine a common time sync shared with the other devices, and determine a timing of occurrence of a sound transient sensed relative to the common time sync. The operations receive timing reports from the other devices, where each of the timing reports indicates a timing of occurrence of the sound transient sensed at a respective one of the other devices relative to the common time sync. The sound transient sensed by the devices is generated at a preferred listening location. The operations coordinate timing of playout of audio media content by the group of devices responsive to comparison of the timing of occurrence of the sound transient sensed by the microphone of the device and the timing of occurrences indicated by the timing reports.
