Abstract: The present technology pertains to steering a playlisting service toward media items that are likely to receive positive feedback from a user operating a client device. The present technology permits a request to play media items without requiring an input context. A playlist service can begin to receive feedback on the playback of the media items and the received playback can be utilized by a steering service in response to a steering request to identify media items for playback that are likely to receive positive feedback based on the feedback received on a sequence of previously played media items.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for uploading, by a verified party, verified-party content to a media platform, receiving requests by a client device for store content, and displaying the uploaded verified-party content along with store content on the client device.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device receives, via one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to display a user interface associated with a first respective content mix, wherein the first respective content mix is associated with a first respective time period. In some embodiments in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to display the user interface associated with the first respective content mix, the electronic device displays, via a display, the user interface. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a plurality of representations of content items including visual indications of amounts of consumption, of a first consumption metric type, by a user during the first respective time period, and a plurality of representations of content creators including visual indications of consumption, of a second consumption metric type, by the user during the first respective time period.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for uploading, by a verified party, verified-party content to a media platform, receiving requests by a client device for store content, and displaying the uploaded verified-party content along with store content on the client device.

Abstract: A content management system and/or client device can enable a user to initiate a quick play mode where a content category and content medium are selected for the user. A client device and/or a content management system can select a content medium for a user based on one or more factors, such as the content category. Certain content categories of content can be preferably delivered in certain content mediums. In some embodiments, a content management system and/or client device can select a content medium for a user based on contextual data gathered from the user. Contextual data can be data describing the user's current state and/or environment. For example, contextual data can include data such as the time of day, geographic location, etc.

Abstract: A power architecture that uses an efficient intermediate power conversion stage between AC adaptor (and battery charger) and subsequent voltage regulators (VRs) (e.g., core VR) for processors for higher overall efficiency allowing for higher performance in a given thermal envelope and iso-system input power. Power losses from both the charger and the core VR are reduced by splitting the power as power to sustained high-power rails, and power to the rest of the platform power rails that have low residency in high-power states. The sustained high-power rails are placed under an intermediate power conversion topology which is directly powered by the adaptor. The rest of the rails along with charging of the battery are powered by the battery charger.

Abstract: The subject technology provides for coordinating output of content during a multiuser communication session by initiating, by a server responsive to a request from a first participant device of a plurality of participant devices that are connected to a multiuser communication session, a media playback session for the multiuser communication session. A network identifier corresponding to the media playback session is generated at the server. The network identifier is transmitted by the server to remainder of participant devices connected to the multiuser communication session. Upon receiving an indication of a selection of the network identifier from at least a second participant device of the plurality of the participant devices at the server, the server causes media for the media playback session to be transmitted to the first participant device and the second participant device.

Abstract: In some implementations, a computing system can reduce startup delays for presenting remote media items. For example, when a user requests media content from a media service, the computing system can include information about the first media item to be played in the initial startup messages to reduce the number of roundtrips needed between client and server devices to present the first media item. A media item can include an introductory asset. The introductory asset can be a portion of the full media item that can be decrypted with a local key or not encrypted at all so that a media client can receive and start presenting the introductory media asset quickly while the full media item is being processed by the media client. In some implementations, the system can remove leading silence from the media item so that the amount of delay perceived by the user is reduced.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to synchronized sharing of playlists from a source client device to a listening client device. To facilitate synchronized sharing, a current playlist of one or more tracks of digital content is obtained from the source client device. A current playback location within the currently playing playlist is also obtained from the source client device. A shared queue accessible by the listener client device is generated. Further, a shared queue context for the listener client device is identified based in part upon the current playback location. This enables the listener client device to start playback synchronized with the source client device.
