Pairing of Media Streaming Devices

A method, comprising:

• at an electronic device having one or more processors, memory storing one or more programs, one or more sensors and one or more speakers:
• receiving a first stream of audio data from a first streaming device and playing the first stream of audio data via the one or more speakers, wherein the electronic device is coupled to the first stream of audio data via a first wireless data connection;
• while playing the first stream of audio data:
• detecting a user input requesting the electronic device that is currently coupled to the first streaming device to establish a second wireless data connection with another streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• and
• detecting, by the one or more sensors, input signals identifying a second streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• in response to detection of the user input and the input signals, establishing the second wireless data connection between the electronic device and the second streaming device;
• receiving a second stream of audio data from the second streaming device over the second wireless data connection;
• and
• causing audio encoded in the second stream of audio data to be played through the one or more speakers of the electronic device.

An electronic device, comprising:

• one or more processors,
• one or more sensors;
• one or more speakers;
• and
• memory having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the one or more processors cause the processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first stream of audio data from a first streaming device and playing the first stream of audio data via the one or more speakers, wherein the electronic device is coupled to the first stream of audio data via a first wireless data connection;
• while playing the first stream of audio data:
• detecting a user input requesting the electronic device that is currently coupled to the first streaming device to establish a second wireless data connection with another streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• and
• detecting, by the one or more sensors, input signals identifying a second streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• in response to detection of the user input and the input signals, establishing the second wireless data connection between the electronic device and the second streaming device;
• receiving a second stream of audio data from the second streaming device over the second wireless data connection;
• and
• causing audio encoded in the second stream of audio data to be played through the one or more speakers of the electronic device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors cause the processors to perform operations comprising:

• at an electronic device having one or more sensors and one or more speakers:
• receiving a first stream of audio data from a first streaming device and playing the first stream of audio data via the one or more speakers, wherein the electronic device is coupled to the first stream of audio data via a first wireless data connection;
• while playing the first stream of audio data:
• detecting a user input requesting the electronic device that is currently coupled to the first streaming device to establish a second wireless data connection with another streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• and
• detecting, by the one or more sensors, input signals identifying a second streaming device that is distinct from the first streaming device;
• in response to detection of the user input and the input signals, establishing the second wireless data connection between the electronic device and the second streaming device;
• receiving a second stream of audio data from the second streaming device over the second wireless data connection;
• and
• causing audio encoded in the second stream of audio data to be played through the one or more speakers of the electronic device.
