A first playback device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the first playback device to perform functions comprising:
- while the first playback device is a part of a first zone group that includes the first playback device and at least one second playback device, applying a first audio setting to at least one of the first playback device and the second playback device;
- joining a second zone group, the second zone group including the first playback device and at least one third playback device;
- and
- applying a second audio setting to at least one of the first playback device and the third playback device based on an audio content profile corresponding to the second zone group.
A method comprising:
- while a first playback device is a part of a first zone group that includes the first playback device and at least one second playback device, applying, by the first playback device, a first audio setting to at least one of the first playback device and the second playback device;
- joining, by the first playback device, a second zone group, the second zone group including the first playback device and at least one third playback device;
- and
- applying to at least one of the first playback device and the third playback device, by the first playback device, a second audio setting based on an audio content profile corresponding to the second zone group.
A tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by one or more processors, wherein the instructions, when executed, cause a first playback device to perform functions comprising:
- while the first playback device is a part of a first zone group that includes the first playback device and at least one second playback device, applying a first audio setting to at least one of the first playback device and the second playback device;
- joining a second zone group, the second zone group including the first playback device and at least one third playback device;
- and
- applying a second audio setting to at least one of the first playback device and the third playback device based on an audio content profile corresponding to the second zone group.
