Abstract: A system for device discovery for social playback is disclosed. The system operates to connect a host media playback device to a media output device and broadcast a social playback session to guest media playback devices. Upon joining a social playback session, a guest media playback device may control the media playback at the host media playback device. Where the media output for the social playback session is provided by the media output device.

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. The electronic device determines that the first device of the host user has left the first shared playback session and, in response, maintains the first playback queue to be accessed by the one or more additional devices. After the host user has left the first shared playback session, the electronic device provides one or more media content items from the first playback queue to at least one of the one or more additional devices.

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.
