Abstract
Systems and methods for vocal guidance for playback devices are disclosed. A playback device can include a first wireless transceiver for communication via a first data network and a second wireless transceiver for communication via a second data network. The device includes one or more processors and is configured to maintain a library that includes one or more source device names and corresponding audio content, the audio content configured to be played back via an amplifier to indicate association of a particular source device with the playback device via the first data network. The device receives, via the second data network, information from one or more remote computing devices, and based on the information, updates the library by: (i) adding at least one new source device name and corresponding audio content; (ii) changing at least one source device name or its corresponding audio content; or both (i) and (ii).
