Abstract
Systems and techniques are provided for detecting the location of a user, stopping media output from a first media output device, and selecting a second media output device for output of media, based on the detection. Media output from a first media output device may be stopped based on the detection or based on media output from the second media output device. A media control device used to select or control the media output may remain proximate to the first media output device as the second media output device is selected. For example, a first output device may output a media component selected by a user located proximate to the first output device. The user may exit the location and enter a second location proximate to a second output device. The media component may be output from the second output device based on detecting the user at the second location.
