A method for a control device that is connected to a media playback system by a network, the method comprising: receiving one or more messages indicating that a first playback device is available for configuration into a zone of the media playback system, the received one or more messages indicating a type of the first playback device; identifying one or more second playback devices of the media playback system, the one or more second playback devices including at least one of a playback device that has been previously configured into the media playback system and/or an additional playback device that is available for configuration; determining, based on a number and type of the identified one or more second playback devices of the media playback system, one or more particular bonded zone configurations that are available for the first playback device and one or more second playback devices compatible with one or more bonded zone configurations including at least one of: a stereo pair configuration in which the first playback device forms a stereo pair with a second playback device; and a surround sound configuration in which the first playback device forms a surround sound configuration with one or more second playback devices; and a combination of at least one full-range playback device and a subwoofer; displaying, via a graphical interface of the control device, the determined one or more bonded zone configurations; detecting, via the graphical interface, selection of a bonded zone configuration from among the one or more determined bonded zone configurations; displaying, via the graphical interface, an indication of one or more particular second playback devices that are compatible with the selected bonded zone configu ration; detecting, via the graphical interface, selection of at least one particular second playback device from among the displayed one or more particular second playback devices that are compatible with the selected bonded zone configuration; and causing the first playback device to form the selected bonded zone configuration with the selected at least one particular second playback device. receiving one or more messages indicating that a first playback device is available for configuration into a zone of the media playback system, the received one or more messages indicating a type of the first playback device; identifying one or more second playback devices of the media playback system, the one or more second playback devices including at least one of a playback device that has been previously configured into the media playback system and/or an additional playback device that is available for configuration; determining, based on a number and type of the identified one or more second playback devices of the media playback system, one or more particular bonded zone configurations that are available for the first playback device and one or more second playback devices compatible with one or more bonded zone configurations including at least one of: a stereo pair configuration in which the first playback device forms a stereo pair with a second playback device; and a surround sound configuration in which the first playback device forms a surround sound configuration with one or more second playback devices; and a combination of at least one full-range playback device and a subwoofer; a stereo pair configuration in which the first playback device forms a stereo pair with a second playback device; and a surround sound configuration in which the first playback device forms a surround sound configuration with one or more second playback devices; and a combination of at least one full-range playback device and a subwoofer; displaying, via a graphical interface of the control device, the determined one or more bonded zone configurations; detecting, via the graphical interface, selection of a bonded zone configuration from among the one or more determined bonded zone configurations; displaying, via the graphical interface, an indication of one or more particular second playback devices that are compatible with the selected bonded zone configu ration; detecting, via the graphical interface, selection of at least one particular second playback device from among the displayed one or more particular second playback devices that are compatible with the selected bonded zone configuration; and causing the first playback device to form the selected bonded zone configuration with the selected at least one particular second playback device.
