Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for syncing multiple electronic devices for collective audio playback. According to certain aspects, a master device connects ( 218 ) to a slave device via a wireless connection. The master device calculates ( 224 ) a network latency via a series of network latency pings with the slave device and sends ( 225 ) the network latency to the slave device. Further, the master devices sends ( 232 ) a portion of an audio file as well as a timing instruction including a system time to the slave device. The master device initiates ( 234 ) playback of the portion of the audio file and the slave devices initiates ( 236 ) playback of the portion of the audio file according to the timing instruction and a calculated system clock offset value.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n receiving, by the audio playback device, a second user input at the audio playback device; transmitting, by the audio playback device to the master device, a second playback command based on the second user input; and adjusting, by the audio playback device, the playback of the audio data based on the second user input in synchrony with the master device adjusting playback of audio data based on the second playback command, wherein the playback command is a pause command, wherein the user input at the master device comprises a user activation of a pause/play button on a user interface of the master device, wherein adjusting the playback of the audio data based on the playback command is performed additionally based on a difference between the clock of the audio playback device and a clock of the master device, wherein adjusting the playback of the audio data based on the playback command includes pausing the playback of the audio data in synchrony with the master device pausing the playback of the audio data, wherein the second playback command is a play command, wherein the second user input at the audio playback device comprises a second user activation of a second pause/play button on a user interface of the audio playback device, and wherein adjusting the playback of the audio data based on the second user input includes resuming the playback of the audio data in synchrony with the master device resuming the playback of the audio data.
