Abstract: Example technologies involve media preferences corresponding to multiple user accounts. In an example, a server of a streaming audio service receives, from a first controller interface on a first mobile device, data representing a request to play back a first audio track on a playback device, the first controller interface associated with a first user account of the streaming audio service. In response, the server streams data representing the first audio track to the playback device for playback. While streaming, the server receives, from a second controller interface on a second mobile device, data representing a preference for the first audio track that the playback device is playing back, the second controller interface associated with a second user account of the streaming audio service. The server stores, in a preference database corresponding to the second user account, data representing the preference for the first audio track.

Abstract: Example techniques involve playback of curated playlists based on media preferences. In an example implementation, a playback device receives data representing one or more instructions to play back a particular curated playlist of a streaming audio service and, in response, plays back audio tracks of the particular curated playlist. During playback, when a preference database includes a negative preference for a given audio track, the playback device skips that audio track.

Abstract: Media preferences for a user account (or for multiple user accounts) may be used to guide media playback. A server of a streaming audio service receives, from a first controller interface on a first mobile device, data representing a request to play back a first audio track on a playback device, the first controller interface associated with a first user account of the streaming audio service. In response, the server streams data representing the first audio track to the playback device for playback. While streaming, the server receives, from a second controller interface on a second mobile device, data representing a preference for the first audio track that the playback device is playing back, the second controller interface associated with a second user account of the streaming audio service. The server stores, in a preference database corresponding to the second user account, data representing the preference for the first audio track.

Abstract: Example techniques involve playback of Internet radio stations based on media preferences. In an example implementation, a playback device receives data representing one or more instructions to play back a particular Internet radio station of a first streaming audio service and, in response, plays back audio tracks of the particular Internet radio station. During playback, when a preference database includes a negative preference for a given audio track, the playback device skips that audio track.

Abstract: Methods and systems described herein relate to management of media playback based on media preferences. A computing device may receive data indicating that a media item is available to be played by a media playback system. A media preference associated with the media item may then be identified based on the received data. The media preference may be identified in a preference database. Based on the media preference, the computing device determines whether the media item is or is not to be played by the media playback system. If a determination is made that the media item is not to be played, the computing device sends to the media playback system, an indication that the media item is not to be played. If a determination is made that the media item is to be played, the computing device causes the media item to be played by the media playback system.

Abstract: Example techniques for populating a preference database affiliated with a media playback system with preferences received for media items are provided. A preference may be associated with a media item from a service provider account, and may be stored in the preference database in association with the service provider account. The service provider account may be associated with multiple user profiles used to access a media playback device, and the preference may be associated with one of the user profiles associated with the service provider account, and stored in association with the user profile. Further, the preference may be received from a user account different from a user account used to access the media item. In this case, the preference may be stored in association with the user account providing the preference. The stored preferences may be used to manage media content playback by the media playback system.

Abstract: Examples techniques may involve preference conversion. An example implementation may involve detecting a first input indicating a first preference for a first media provided by a first media provider. The first preference may correspond to a first preference type. The implementation may further involve converting the first preference to a converted first preference. The converted first preference may correspond to a second preference type and the second preference type may correspond to the first media provider. The implementation may further involve sending the converted first preference to the first media provider.

Abstract: Embodiments are provided for preference conversion. An example embodiment may involve detecting a first input indicating a first preference for a first media provided by a first media provider. The first preference may correspond to a first preference type. The embodiment may further involve converting the first preference to a converted first preference. The converted first preference may correspond to a second preference type and the second preference type may correspond to the first media provider. The embodiment may further involve sending the converted first preference to the first media provider.
