Abstract
Distributed media content history and preferences can be stored and maintained by media playback systems including one or more blockchain-capable playback devices. Content record sets, such as content experience record sets and content network record sets, can be stored via distributed ledgers and updated at least in part based on media consumption events performed or detected by playback devices, service providers, or other participants. Such distributed data can also be accessed to facilitate playback of media content for particular users, devices, households, or environments.
