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 3):
The method of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n determining, by the third audio playback device based on the second timing signal, a difference between a clock of the third audio playback device and the clock of the second audio playback device; receiving, by the third audio playback device from the second audio playback device, the first time corresponding to the audio data; and determining by the third audio playback device, a third time based on (i) the first time and (ii) the difference between the clock of the third audio playback device and the clock of the second audio playback device, wherein the playing, by the third audio playback device, the audio data in synchrony with the second audio playback device is performed based on the third time according to the clock of the third audio playback device.
