    Publication number: 20230111456
    Abstract: A server system receives a request to generate a playlist. The playlist includes a sequence of media items.

The plurality of constraints for the respective slot in the sequence of media items includes at least one constraint that is based on already-populated slots in the sequence of media items. The server system generates the playlist by sequentially populating each respective slot in the sequence of media items, including selecting, for the respective slot, a respective media item that meets the plurality of constraints for the respective slot in the sequence of media items. The server system provides the playlist to a user of the media providing service.
