Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for providing audio content based on playback zone awareness. In an example implementation, a computing system receives, from a media playback system, (i) zone data that identifies a particular zone of the media playback system and (ii) a request to identify audio content based on the zone data. In response to receiving the request to identify audio content, the computing device identifies audio content based on the zone data. The computing device sends, to the media playback system, an indication of the audio content identified based on the zone data, which may be played back by one or more playback devices of the media playback system.
