Abstract

See full text

Techniques provided herein may facilitate registering audio content services with an audio system. An example technique involves a computing device receiving via a control interface for controlling an audio system, an input to register an audio content service with the audio system, where an audio content service application corresponding to the audio content service is installed on the computing device. The computing device identifies authentication information used by the audio content service application to access the audio content service and registers the audio system with the audio content service based at least in part on authentication information used by the audio content service application to access the audio content service. After registering the audio system with the audio content service, the computing device causes at least one playback device of the audio system to stream music from the audio content service.
