         3 . The electronic device  claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 transmitting, to a fourth device, an indication of the content of the playback queue for display on the fourth device, wherein the indication of the content of the playback queue includes:
 the first identifier associated with the first media item in the playback queue, and 
 the second identifier associated with the second media item in the playback queue. 
   
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 1 ,
 wherein the second device is associated with a first user account that is associated with the first user, and   wherein the third device is associated with a second user account that is associated with the second user.   
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to receiving the second request:
 in accordance with a determination that the third device has permission to add a media item to the playback queue, adding the second media item to the playback queue. 
   
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to receiving the second request:
 in accordance with a determination that the second user associated with the third device has permission to add a media item to the playback queue, adding the second media item to the playback queue; and 
 in accordance with a determination that the second user associated with the third device does not have permission to add a media item to the playback queue, forgoing adding the second media item to the playback queue. 
   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 receiving, from the third device, a third request to remove the first media item from the playback queue;   in response to receiving the third request:
 in accordance with a determination that the third device has permission to remove the first media item from the playback queue, removing the first media item from the playback queue. 
   
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 7 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to receiving the third request:
 in accordance with a determination that the second user is a member of a predefined set of users associated with the electronic device, removing the first media item from the playback queue. 
   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for, subsequent to adding the first media item to the playback queue:
 in accordance with a determination that a queue removal condition for the first media item is satisfied, removing the first media item from the playback queue; and   in accordance with a determination that the queue removal condition for the first media item is not satisfied, forgoing removing the first media item from the playback queue.   
     
     
         10 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the electronic device is associated with a media preference profile, the media preference profile is associated with the first user, wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
 in response to receiving, from the second device associated with the first user, the request to queue the first media item for playback, updating the media preference profile based on the first media item; and   in response to receiving, from the third device associated with the second user, the request to queue the second media item for playback, forgoing updating the media preference profile based on the second media item.   
     
     
         11 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein the first media item is added to the playback queue from a first source, and wherein the second media item is added to the playback queue from a second source that is different from the first source. 
     
     
         12 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 at an electronic device:
 receiving, from a second device associated with a first user, a first request to queue a first media item for playback on a set of devices, wherein the set of devices is concurrently connected to the second device and a third device that is associated with a second user; 
 in response to the first request, adding the first media item to a playback queue for playback on at least one device of the set of devices; 
 receiving, from the third device associated with the second user, a second request to queue a second media item for playback on the set of devices, wherein the second user is different than the first user; 
 in response to the second request, adding the second media item to the playback queue; 
 initiating playback of the first media item in the playback queue on the set of devices; and 
 initiating playback of the second media item in the playback queue on the set of devices. 
   
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, the one or more programs including instructions for performing:
 receiving, from a second device associated with a first user, a first request to queue a first media item for playback on a set of devices, wherein the set of devices is concurrently connected to the second device and a third device that is associated with a second user;   in response to the first request, adding the first media item to a playback queue for playback on at least one device of the set of devices;   receiving, from the third device associated with the second user, a second request to queue a second media item for playback on the set of devices, wherein the second user is different than the first user;   in response to the second request, adding the second media item to the playback queue;   initiating playback of the first media item in the playback queue on the set of devices; and   initiating playback of the second media item in the playback queue on the set of devices.
