Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for identifying a music service based on a user command. A content type is identified from a received user command and a music service is selected that supports the content type. A selected music service can then transmit audio content associated with the content type for playback.

Claim (Index 8):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by a network device via a network interface, data indicating a request for audio content by a media playback system, wherein the media playback system comprises a plurality of playback zones, wherein each playback zone comprises at least one playback device, and wherein each playback device is programmed with the capability to receive and playback audio content from either a first music service provider or a second music service provider; parsing, by the network device, the data to identify at least (i) a first segment indicating a content identification and (ii) a second segment indicating a particular playback zone of the plurality of playback zones; selecting, by the network device, one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider based on the second segment, wherein selecting one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider comprises:\n determining, by the network device, a first confidence metric corresponding to the first music service provider and a second confidence metric corresponding to the second music service provider, wherein the first confidence metric is based on a history of accesses to the first music service provider by the particular playback zone and wherein the second confidence metric is based on a history of accesses to the second music service provider by the particular playback zone; \n determining, by the network device, that a given one of the first confidence metric or the second confidence metric better satisfies a confidence condition; and \n selecting, by the network device, whichever one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider corresponds to the given one of the first confidence metric or the second confidence metric; \n after selecting the one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider, identifying, by the network device, a uniform resource identifier corresponding to the content identification and the selected one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider; identifying, by the network device, a particular playback device in the particular playback zone; and transmitting, by the network device via the network interface to the particular playback device, the uniform resource identifier to cause the particular playback device to retrieve audio content from the selected one of the first music service provider or the second music service provider according to the uniform resource identifier.
