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 14):
The master playback device of  claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n detect, via the user interface, selection of a next track selection, retrieve, from the remote server via the communication component, second audio data corresponding to a second audio item subsequent to the first audio item in the plurality of items of audio content, transmit, to the audio playback device via the communication component, (i) the second audio data, and (ii) a second timing signal, and cause the audio output component to output the second audio data in synchrony with the audio playback device playing the second audio data based on the second timing signal.
