Abstract: A computing device may be configured to (i) operate as a control device of a media playback system including first and second playback devices, each associated with a respective playback queue, (ii) determine that a first playback queue associated with the first playback device is empty, (iii) based on the determination, determine content recommendations based on context information related to the first playback device, (iv) display indications of the first and second playback devices, where (a) the indication of the second playback device indicates media content identified in a second playback queue associated with the second playback device, and (b) the indication of the first playback device includes a selectable indication for each content recommendation for the first playback queue, (v) receive a selection of a content recommendation, and (vi) based on the received input, populate the first playback queue with media content corresponding to the selected content recommendation.

Abstract: Techniques for sharing content via prompts are disclosed. In some techniques, prompts are provided via user devices. Users can respond to the prompts with an indication of at least one media content item. The responses to prompts can be shared among various users so that users can see and optionally play back the media content indicated in the responses to the prompts. In this way, users can add, see and sample content shared by multiple users and from multiple content sources.

Abstract: Vocal audio of a user together with performance synchronized video is captured and coordinated with audiovisual contributions of other users to form composite duet-style or glee club-style or window-paned music video-style audiovisual performances. In some cases, the vocal performances of individual users are captured (together with performance synchronized video) on mobile devices, television-type display and/or set-top box equipment in the context of karaoke-style presentations of lyrics in correspondence with audible renderings of a backing track. Contributions of multiple vocalists are coordinated and mixed in a manner that selects for presentation, at any given time along a given performance timeline, performance synchronized video of one or more of the contributors. Selections are in accord with a visual progression that codes a sequence of visual layouts in correspondence with other coded aspects of a performance score such as pitch tracks, backing audio, lyrics, sections and/or vocal parts.
