Abstract
In an example implementation, a computing system receives zone data that identifies a particular zone of a playback system, where the particular zone includes one or more playback devices. The computing system identifies audio content based on the zone data. Identifying audio content may involve determining that particular audio content is preferred in the particular zone and identifying audio content corresponding to the particular audio content that is preferred in the particular zone. After identifying the audio content, the computing system provides an indication of the identified audio content to the playback system. The computing system receives data indicating audio items that were selected from the identified audio content via the playback system and provides an indication of the audio items that were selected from the identified audio content, the indication comprising respective sources from which the audio items are retrievable by the playback system.
