An apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory including computer program code for one or more programs,
• the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus embedded in at least one device associated with a user to perform at least the following,
• determine a request to transfer a content consumption session from the at least one device associated with a user to at least one other device associated with the user, wherein a content item of the content consumption session includes one or more audio recordings, one or more video recordings, one or more electronic books, one or more files, one or more electronic documents;
• generate a barcode describing at least one progress state and being encoded with a progress point of the content consumption session, wherein the bar code is not provided by a server;
• render a presentation of the barcode on a user interface of the at least one device or transfer the barcode to the at least one other device;
• initiate a mapping of the at least one device, the at least one other device, or a combination thereof to the user based, at least in part, on another request to continue the content consumption session from the progress point at the at least one other device using the barcode.
