  • Publication number: 20260181209
    Abstract: Examples involve a control device using a social networking service to facilitate registration of a streaming media service with a media playback system. An example implementation receives (i) data indicating login credentials for a given account of a social networking service, and (ii) input data to configure streaming media services with a media playback system. Based on receiving the input data to configure the media playback system, the implementation queries the social networking service for streaming media services associated with the given account, and in response to the query, receives data indicating a first streaming media service associated with the given account. The implementation configures the media playback system to playback audio content from the first streaming media service that is associated with the given account and causes the media playback system to playback audio content from the first streaming media service.

  • Patent number: 9787739
    Abstract: An example implementation may involve a control device displaying, on a graphical interface, a prompt for login credentials. The example implementation may also involve the control device detecting input data at the prompt indicating a login credential for a given account of a social networking service. The example implementation may further involve the control device querying the social networking service for streaming media services that are associated with the given account of the social networking service. In response to the query, the control device may receive data indicating a first streaming media service that is associated with the given account of the social networking service. The example implementation may involve registering the first streaming media service with a media playback system and populating a queue of the media playback system with one or more particular media items from the first streaming media service.
