SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF CYCLIC PLAY QUEUES IN A MEDIA CONTENT ENVIRONMENT

Abstract:

An electronic device, while providing a first playlist for playback by a media device, maintains a play queue for a first user that is initially populated with a list of media content items to be played by the media device, the initially populated list of media content items including media content items distinct from the first playlist and selected by the first user and media content items from the first playlist. The electronic device receives a request to change playback from the first playlist to a second playlist different from the first playlist. In response to the request to change the playback from the first playlist to the second playlist, the electronic device maintains, in the play queue, the media content items selected by the first user while changing playback from the first playlist to the second playlist.
