    Abstract: An electronic device receives a request, from a first device of a host user, to initiate a first shared playback session for the first device and one or more additional devices. The electronic device streams media content from a first playback queue to the first device and to the one or more additional devices, the first playback queue including one or more media content items corresponding to the first shared playback session.

  • Patent number: 11082742
    Abstract: An electronic device stores, for a first user of a media-providing service, a listening history corresponding to media content items provided by the media-providing service that have been previously consumed by the first user. The electronic device provides a shared playback queue to a first device of the first user and a second device of a second user. The electronic device identifies a source of a first media content item of the one or more media content items in the shared playback queue. Based on the identified source of the first media content item in the shared playback queue, the electronic device determines whether to include the first media content item in the listening history of the first user. The electronic device provides information for a second media content item to the first device of the first user based on the listening history of the first user.
