Embodiments are provided for receiving media content based on the preferences of additional users. An example implementation includes a computing device transmitting, to a service provider, a first request for media items based on media preferences associated with first user profiles for a media playback system. After transmitting the first request, the computing device determines that media preferences associated with second user profiles are to be used for requesting media items. Thereafter, the computing device transmits, to the service provider, a second request for one or more media items based on media preferences associated with (i) the first user profiles and (ii) the second user profiles. After transmitting the second request, the computing device may receive data indicating at least one media item from the service provider and cause one or more playback devices in the media playback system to play the at least one media item.
