Abstract
Method and systems are provided for a playback device to play a media item using an audio setting corresponding to the media item and characteristics of the playback device. The characteristics of the playback device may be one or more of a model of the playback device, an orientation of the playback device, or a playback group configuration of the playback device, among other possibilities. The audio setting may be determined specifically for the characteristics of the playback device, by a provider (i.e. an artist and/or producer of the media item, and/or a curator of a playlist including the media item, among others). The media item, when rendered by the playback device, may sound as the provider intended.
