Abstract:
An embodiment may involve a server device transmitting, over a wide area network, a first playlist with a first duration to a client device. Possibly while the client device is playing out a current audio file of a first plurality of audio files in the playlist, the server device may receive an instruction from the client device and generate a second playlist. The second playlist may include references to a second plurality of audio files, where playout of the second plurality of audio files may have a duration that is less than the duration of the playout of the first plurality of audio files. The server device may transmit, over the wide area network, the second playlist to the client device. Reception of the second playlist at the client device may cause the audio player application to retrieve and play out the second plurality of audio files.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n receiving, by a client device, a first playlist, wherein the first playlist was sent by a server device over a wide area network, wherein the first playlist includes references to a first plurality of audio files in a first specified order, wherein playout of the first plurality of audio files has a first duration; in response to receiving the first playlist, causing, by the client device, an audio player application executing on the client device to retrieve and play out at least some of the first plurality of audio files in the first specified order; while the client device is playing out a current audio file of the first plurality of audio files, receiving, by the client device, an instruction specifying that a sleep timer has been activated with a target duration; in response to receiving the instruction, transmitting, by the client device to the server device, an indication that the sleep timer has been activated with the target duration; receiving, by the client device, a second playlist from the server device, wherein the second playlist includes references to a second plurality of audio files in a second specified order, wherein playout of the second plurality of audio files has a second duration that is: less than the first duration and within a threshold duration of the target duration; and in response to receiving the second playlist, causing, by the client device, the audio player application to, after playout of the current audio file completes, stop playing out audio files from the first plurality of audio files and retrieve and play out the second plurality of audio files in the second specified order.
