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.

Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs. The one or more programs include instructions for presenting, on a first playback component coupled with the electronic device, a first media content item and receiving an input to preview a second media content item. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is in a first mode of operation, while the first media content item is presented on the first playback component, presenting a preview of the second media content item on a second playback component. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is not in the first mode of operation: ceasing presentation of the first media content item and presenting the preview of the second media content item.

Abstract: An electronic device presents a first song that includes a sample of a second song, different from the first song. While presenting the first song, the electronic device displays a preview control on a display. The preview control corresponds to the second song. The electronic device receives selection of the preview control and, in response to receiving the selection of the preview control, plays a preview of the second song.

Abstract: A capo for a stringed musical instrument is clamped on the neck of the instrument and has a flexible portion that is pressed against the strings between frets to change the tone of the instrument. The flexible portion may comprise various materials including a vessel wall structure filled with a fluid. Also, the flexible portion may comprise a silicone rubber.

Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more proecessors. The one or more programs include instructions for determining whether a first input is released at a time before expiration of a first time period after a beginning of the first input is detected. In accordance with a determination as to whether the first input is released at a time before expiration of the first time period after the beginning of the first input is detected, the electronic device selects between presenting the first media content or adding the first media content to a playlist. The electronic device performs the selected one of presenting the first media content or adding the first media content to the playlist.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (S) for measuring the position of a coupling member (1) that comprises a shaft part (2), a first flange (3), a second flange (4) and a first resilient bushing (5), which secures the first flange (3) to the shaft part (2), and a second resilient bushing (6), which secures the second flange (4) to the shaft part (2). Each resilient bushing (5, 6) is arranged with a resilient yield between the respective flange (3, 4) and the shaft part (2). The flanges (3, 4) are intended to be secured to a respective first shaft (7) and second shaft (8). When the coupling member (1) is placed between the first shaft (7) and the second shaft (8), it is intended to transfer a rotation movement from the first shaft (7) to the second shaft (8).
