Abstract
An electronic device receives a request, from a host user, to initiate a shared playback session. The electronic devices streams media from a playback queue for the shared playback session to the first device and to additional devices. The electronic device determines that the host user has left the shared playback session, and, in response, maintains the playback queue to be accessed by the additional devices. After the host user has left the shared playback session, the electronic device provides media from the playback queue to at least a second device of the additional devices. While providing the media the playback queue, the electronic device receives a request, from the second device, to leave the playback queue and, in response, provides a second media, that is not included in the playback queue, to the second device. The electronic device ceases to provide the playback queue to the second device.
