An audio recommendation system adds a “recents” tab in a memory accessible to a messaging system including any audio tracks (songs or sounds) encountered by applications in order to allow quick access to any recently played songs or sounds provided in a message to/from another user or encountered during activities of the user. The displayed “recents” tab enables the user to revisit songs or sounds that the user may wish to use later in another message or to include in the user's music playlist. The “recents” tab also enables the user to browse an audio history in received messages without needing to explicitly save the music or sounds upon receipt. The system determines the source of the encountered sound or song and stores the source of the sound or song in a playlist associated with the recents tab with identifying information for the sound or song.

Certain exemplary embodiments relate to entertainment systems and, more particularly, to systems that incorporate digital downloading jukebox features and improved user interfaces. For instance, a smart search may be provided, e.g., where search results vary based on the popularity of songs within the venue, in dependence on songs being promoted, etc. As another example, a tile-based approach to organizing groupings of songs is provided. Groupings may involve self-populating collections of songs that combine centrally-promoted songs, songs in a given genre that are popular across an audiovisual distribution network, and songs that are locally popular and match up with the given genre (e.g., because of shared attributes such as same or similar genre, artist, etc.). Different tile visual presentations also are contemplated, as are different physical jukebox designs. In certain example embodiments, a sealed core unit with the “brains” of the jukebox is insertable into a docking station.

A network device is configured to (i) play back a media item indicated by a remote playback queue provided by a cloud-based computing system, (ii) receive an indication that a playback device is available for playback, (iii) display a now playing screen including (a) information identifying the media item, and (b) an icon that indicates that the network device is not in a connected state with any other network device, (iv) receive a first input selecting the icon, (v) in response to the first input, display a list of one or more available network devices including the playback device, (vi) receive a second input selecting the playback device from the list (vii) after receiving the second input, update the list to indicate that the playback device is selected for playback of the remote playback queue, and (viii) transfer playback of the remote playback queue from the network device to the playback device.

The present application provides an audio previewing method, an apparatus and a storage medium. The method plays, on a target audio file set interface, an audio preview clip of at least one audio file in a target audio file set in response to a previewing request of previewing the target audio file set without entering a target audio file set detailed interface, so that a user can quickly preview the target audio file set through auditory sense, and the user can preview the at least one audio file in the target audio file set at a time, which is simple in operation. In addition, embodiments of the present application further display, on the target audio file set interface, information of an audio file corresponding to the audio preview clip that is currently played during previewing, such as name and/or singer.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide an information displaying method and device. The method includes: acquiring audio data to be played; displaying an audio spectrum corresponding to the audio data, where the audio spectrum displays a playback progress of the audio data. The embodiments of the present disclosure display a playback progress of audio through an audio spectrum, which can blend the audio spectrum with a playback progress, possessing rich display effects, and can also save a space occupied by a progress bar when displayed separately; meanwhile, a user can perceive the playback progress of the audio when enjoying the audio spectrum, improving an audio playback experience of the user.
