A system is described for maintaining synchrony of operations among a plurality of devices that have independent clocking arrangements. The system includes a task distribution device that distributes tasks to a synchrony group comprising a plurality of devices that are to perform the tasks distributed by the task distribution device in synchrony. The task distribution device distributes each task to the members of the synchrony group over a network. Each task is associated with a time stamp that indicates a time, relative to a clock maintained by the task distribution device, at which the members of the synchrony group are to execute the task. Each member of the synchrony group periodically obtains from the task distribution device an indication of the current time indicated by its clock, determines a time differential between the task distribution device's clock and its respective clock and determines therefrom a time at which, according to its respective clock, the time stamp indicates that it is to execute the task.

The method of claim 1, wherein the synchrony group comprises another playback device, wherein the other playback device comprises the audio information channelization device, and wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the resynchronization instruction from the other playback device to the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the resynchronization instruction specifies a packet number associated with the audio stream, and wherein the resynchronization instruction instructs the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group not to play audio information in the audio stream contained in packets between the identified packet number and the receipt of the resynchronization instruction. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the resynchronization instruction specifies a third time, and wherein the resynchronization instructions instruct the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group not to play audio information associated with the audio track after the third time. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the audio information channelization device is a member of the synchrony group. 6. The method of claim 5, further comprising playing back, via the audio information channelization device, the audio information associated with the next track in synchrony with playback of the next track by the one or more playback devices. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the resynchronization instruction causes the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group to synchronously skip to a next track of the plurality of audio tracks that have been queued for playback. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the command from a controller device via a network interface. 9. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed cause an audio information channelization device to perform functions, comprising: transmit an audio stream in packet form, wherein the audio stream comprises a plurality of audio tracks that have been queued for playback by one or more playback devices of a synchrony group, wherein each audio track comprises a plurality of frames, and wherein each frame of the plurality of frames comprises audio information and an associated first time indicating when to play the audio information of the respective frame;receive a command, wherein the command identifies one of the plurality of audio tracks, and wherein the command indicates that the synchrony group should cancel playback of the identified audio track;based on the received command, cease transmission of the identified audio track within the audio stream;after ceasing the transmission of the identified audio track, transmit a resynchronization instruction based on the received command, wherein the resynchronization instruction instructs the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group not to play back audio information associated with the identified audio track that has been previously transmitted within the audio stream by the audio information channelization device; andbased on the received command, transmit a next track of the plurality of audio tracks that has been queued for playback by one or more of the playback devices of the synchrony group, wherein the next track includes a plurality of frames and a second time indicating when to play audio information associated with the next track of the plurality of audio tracks, and wherein the second time occurs after the first time. 10. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the synchrony group includes another playback device, wherein the other playback device comprises the audio information channelization device, and wherein the transmitting comprises transmitting the resynchronization instruction from the other playback device to the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group. 11. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the resynchronization instruction specifies a packet number associated with the audio stream, and wherein the resynchronization instruction instructs the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group not to play audio information in the audio stream contained in packets between the identified packet number and the receipt of the resynchronization instruction. 12. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the resynchronization instruction specifies a third time, and wherein the resynchronization instructions instruct the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group not to play audio information associated with the audio track after the third time. 13. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the audio information channelization device is a member of the synchrony group. 14. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 13, wherein the functions further comprise, playing back, via the audio information channelization device, the audio information associated with the next track in synchrony with playback of the next track by the one or more playback devices. 15. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the resynchronization instruction causes the one or more playback devices of the synchrony group to synchronously skip to a next track of the plurality of audio tracks that have been queued for playback. 16. The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the functions further comprise receiving the command from a controller device via a network interface. 17. A first playback device comprising: a network interface configured to transmit an audio stream in packet form, wherein the audio stream comprises a plurality of audio tracks that have been queued for playback by one or more second playback devices of a synchrony group, wherein each audio track comprises a plurality of frames, and wherein each frame of the plurality of frames comprises audio information and an associated first time indicating when to play the audio information of the respective frame;tangible, non-transitory computer-readable memory having instructions stored thereon that when executed cause the first playback device to perform functions, comprising:receive, via the network interface, a command, wherein the command identifies one of the plurality of audio tracks, and wherein the command indicates that the synchrony group should cancel playback of the one of the plurality of audio tracks;based on the received command, cause the network interface to cease transmission of the identified audio track within the audio stream;after ceasing the transmission of the identified audio track, transmit a resynchronization instruction via the network interface based on the received command, wherein the resynchronization instruction instructs the one or more second playback devices of the synchrony group not to play back audio information associated with the identified audio track that has been previously transmitted within the audio stream by the first playback device; andbased on the received command, transmit, via the network interface, a next track of the plurality of audio tracks that has been queued for playback by one or more of the second playback devices of the synchrony group, wherein the next track includes a plurality of frames and a second time indicating when to play audio information associated with the next track of the plurality of audio tracks, wherein the second time occurs after the first time. 18.
