  • Patent number: 12189800
    Abstract: Described herein are approaches for generating a new queue based on an existing queue. This may include receiving a request to transfer the existing queue from a first device to a second device. A set of move criteria may be evaluated using a playback context, a user profile, a configuration associated with the second device, and/or a level of access constraints. Depending on the results of the evaluation, the existing queue may be completely reformulated to define the new queue. The second device may then be instructed to play the new queue.
