Abstract
A first playback device and a second playback device of a media playback system play back a first version of audio content in synchrony. While the first and the second playback devices are synchronously playing back the first version of the audio content, a change in at least one characteristic of the media playback system is detected. Based on the change in the at least one characteristic, a second version of the audio content is identified. The second playback device transitions from playing back the first version of the audio content to playing back the second version of the audio content in synchrony with playback of the first version of the audio content by the first playback device. The first and second versions of the audio content are transmitted by at least one remote computing device configured to communicate with the media playback system over at least one data network.
