Abstract
Media playback systems configured to playback media content based on provider (e.g., artist, musician, creator) intent are disclosed. In one example, a media playback system detects a trigger condition while playing back first media content via one or more playback devices from a first media content source. The system determines, based on the detected trigger condition, one or more instructions associated with a provider of the first media content. Based on the one or more instructions the system can cause playback of second media content via at least one of the one or more playback devices.
