Abstract:
In an example implementation, a method may involve sending a message that arranges a media playback system into a pre-defined state, wherein a first playback device is in a first zone having a first zone name, a second playback device is in a second zone having a second zone name, and a queue has a particular set of media items. The method may also involve detecting a trigger indicating a request to reset the media playback system. The method may further involve causing the media playback system to revert to the pre-defined state, wherein reverting may include assigning the first zone name to the first zone and joining the first playback device to the first zone, assigning the second zone name to the second zone and joining the second playback device to the second zone, and configuring the queue with the particular set of media items.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of controlling a plurality of media playback systems within a place of accommodation, each media playback system comprising at least one playback device, and a particular media playback system within a given room of the place of accommodation comprising a playback device, the method comprising:\n sending, via a network interface to the playback device, a message that configures the particular media playback system to operate a pre-defined first state in which: (a) a first zone of the particular media playback system includes the playback device and is assigned a first zone name, and (b) a queue includes a first set of one or more media items, wherein the first zone and is configured to play back media items from the queue; operating the particular media playback system in a second state, wherein operating the particular media playback system in the second state comprises: (i) populating the queue with a second set of one or more media items, wherein the second set of one or more media items includes one or more media items that are different from the first set of one or more media items; and (ii) causing the first zone to play back at least one media item of the second set of one or more media items; after operating the particular media playback system in the second state, receiving, via a network interface from one or more servers of a booking system configured to manage room reservations for the place of accommodation, a message indicating that a new guest is checking into the given room that contains the particular media playback system, wherein the message is a trigger that causes the media playback system to revert to the pre-defined first state; and responsive to receiving the message indicating that the new guest is checking into the given room, causing the particular media playback system to revert to the pre-defined first state, wherein reverting the particular media playback system to the pre-defined first state comprises responsive to the trigger, populating the queue with only the first set of one or more media items.
