Claims20

Dependent claims

A computing device comprising:

at least one processor;
at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium;
and
program instructions stored on the at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor such that the computing device is configured to:
receive a request for a media playback system to play back audio content from a media service;
based on receiving the request, transmit, to the media playback system, an authorization code that corresponds to the media service and thereby cause the media playback system to obtain, from the media service, an authorization token that facilitates obtaining media from the media service;
and
transmit, to the media playback system, an instruction to cause the media playback system to request from the media service, using the authorization token, a media item for playback by the media playback system.

5 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, wherein the non-transitory computer-readable medium is provisioned with program instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause a computing device to:

receive a request for a media playback system to play back audio content from a media service;
based on receiving the request, transmit, to the media playback system, an authorization code that corresponds to the media service and thereby cause the media playback system to obtain, from the media service, an authorization token that facilitates obtaining media from the media service;
and
transmit, to the media playback system, an instruction to cause the media playback system to request from the media service, using the authorization token, a media item for playback by the media playback system.
