Patent number: 10152212Abstract: An example implementation may involve a control device displaying a control interface that includes an indication of one or more playable media items. The example implementation may further involve detecting input data indicating a selection of a particular instance of the given media item from among the one or more playable media items. Upon detecting the input data, the control device may identify a container of two or more media items, the container including the particular instance of the given media item and indicating a sequence for the two or more media items. The example implementation may also involve inserting the two or more media items of the identified container into a queue such that the two or more media items follow the indicated sequence within the queue, and causing one or more playback devices to initiate playback of the queue beginning with the given media item.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2015Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Sonos, Inc.Inventors: Ben Tripoli, Robert Lambourne, Yasser Rashid, Joni Hoadley
