  • Patent number: 12153625
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a user, a user-curated playlist, the user-curated playlist including an ordered set of media items that were added by the user. While providing a first media item in the ordered set of media items, the electronic device receives a first user input selecting an option to include recommended media items in the user-curated playlist. In response to the first user input, the electronic device updates the user-curated playlist to include a first recommended media item, the first recommended media item selected without user intervention based at least in part on attributes of the user-curated playlist. The first recommended media item is positioned in the user-curated playlist in between media items that were added to the ordered set of media items by the user.

  • Publication number: 20220353312
    Abstract: A first electronic device, while a first media content item of a first type is playing back on a second electronic device, detects a user input selecting a second media content item. In response to the user input, the electronic device determines a type of media content item of the selected second media content item. In accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of the first type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at the second electronic device, and in accordance with a determination that the second media content item is of a second type of media content item, the first electronic device generates a media control request for controlling playback of the second media content item at a third electronic device that is distinct from the second electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20200045365
    Abstract: An electronic device with one or more processors and memory starts to download first content from a content delivery server. The first content corresponds to a first channel in a predetermined sequence of channels. While downloading the first content and before presenting second content that corresponds to a second channel that is adjacent to the first channel in the predetermined sequence of channels, the device presents the first content and periodically preloads, using a connection over the Internet to a content delivery server for the second content, portions of the second content from the content delivery server for the second content. The device periodically stores the preloaded portions of the second content in the memory. While presenting the first content, the electronic device receives a request for the second content. In response to receiving the request, the device transitions between presenting the first content to presenting the second content.
