Abstract
An example implementation may involve a control device displaying, on a graphical interface, a prompt for login credentials. The example implementation may also involve the control device detecting input data at the prompt indicating a login credential for a given account of a social networking service. The example implementation may further involve the control device querying the social networking service for streaming media services that are associated with the given account of the social networking service. In response to the query, the control device may receive data indicating a first streaming media service that is associated with the given account of the social networking service. The example implementation may involve registering the first streaming media service with a media playback system and populating a queue of the media playback system with one or more particular media items from the first streaming media service.
