Abstract
The invention provides a content playback system comprising a plurality of playback devices, each of which is configured to detect a voice command from a user and to play content. The system is configured to store an account conversation state associated with an account shared by the plurality of playback devices, and a device conversation state that is associated with a first playback device of the plurality of playback devices. When a voice command is detected by the first playback device, the system is configured to control the first playback device using information in the account conversation state and the device conversation state associated with the first playback device as an input. This may improve continuity of experience for a user across the plurality of playback devices.
