Playback Zone Management

A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by one or more processors to cause a computing device to perform functions comprising:

• displaying a user interface comprising:
• a plurality of zone icons, wherein each zone icon in the plurality of zone icons identifies a zone of a media playback system, and wherein each zone of the media playback system is associated with one or more playback devices;
• and
• a first region comprising at least two zone icons from the plurality of zone icons, the at least two zone icons comprising a first zone icon identifying a first zone associated with one or more first playback devices and a second zone icon identifying a second zone associated with one or more second playback devices, wherein the one or more first playback devices identified by the first zone icon and the one or more second playback devices identified by the second zone icon are grouped in a synchrony group so that the one or more first playback devices and the one or more second playback devices are configured to play back media content in synchrony;
• receiving, via the user interface, a first input, wherein the first input comprises a selection of the second zone icon;
• receiving, via the user interface, a second input, wherein the second input comprises a selection outside of the first region of the user interface;
• and
• after receiving the first input and the second input:
• (i) disassociating the one or more second playback devices identified by the second zone icon from the synchrony group so that the one or more first playback devices and the one or more second playback devices are no longer configured to playback media content in synchrony and (ii) displaying, via the user interface, the second zone icon outside the first region of the user interface.

A method to be performed by a computing device, the method comprising:

• displaying a user interface comprising:
• a plurality of zone icons, wherein each zone icon in the plurality of zone icons identifies a zone of a media playback system, and wherein each zone of the media playback system is associated with one or more playback devices;
• and
• a first region comprising at least two zone icons from the plurality of zone icons, the at least two zone icons comprising a first zone icon identifying a first zone associated with one or more first playback devices and a second zone icon identifying a second zone associated with one or more second playback devices, wherein the one or more first playback devices identified by the first zone icon and the one or more second playback devices identified by the second zone icon are grouped in a synchrony group so that the one or more first playback devices and the one or more second playback devices are configured to play back media content in synchrony;
• receiving, via the user interface, a first input, wherein the first input comprises a selection of the second zone icon;
• receiving, via the user interface, a second input, wherein the second input comprises a selection outside of the first region of the user interface;
• and
• after receiving the first input and the second input:
• (i) disassociating the one or more second playback devices identified by the second zone icon from the synchrony group so that the one or more first playback devices and the one or more second playback devices are no longer configured to playback media content in synchrony and (ii) displaying, via the user interface, the second zone icon outside the first region of the user interface.
