A method comprising: receiving, via a network interface of a first playback device from a source device, stereo audio data comprising a left audio channel and a right audio channel;detecting, by the first playback device, one or more presses of a designated button on the first playback device, th
1. A method comprising: receiving, via a network interface of a first playback device from a source device, stereo audio data comprising a left audio channel and a right audio channel;detecting, by the first playback device, one or more presses of a designated button on the first playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device representing a first command to form a stereo pair;detecting, by a second playback device, one or more presses of a designated button on the second playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the second playback device representing a second command to form the stereo pair with the first playback device;in response to the first command and the second command, forming a particular stereo pair, wherein the first playback device is designated to play the left audio channel of the stereo audio data and a second playback device is designated to play the right audio channel of the stereo audio data;after forming the particular stereo pair, (i) sending, from the first playback device to the second playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, by the first playback device, the left audio channel of the stereo audio data; andafter forming the particular stereo pair, (i) wirelessly receiving, by the second playback device from the first playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, by the second playback device, the right audio channel of the stereo audio data. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein detecting one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device comprises detecting a single press of the designated button on the first playback device. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein detecting one or more presses of the designated button on the second playback device comprises detecting a single press of the designated button on the second playback device. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein sending at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data comprises sending both of (i) the left audio channel and (ii) the right audio channel. 5. The method of claim 1, sending at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data comprises sending only the right audio channel. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising: after detecting the first command, detecting by the first playback device, the second playback device. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising: after detecting the second command, detecting by the second playback device, the first playback device. 8. A system comprising: a first playback device comprising: a first network interface;one or more first speaker drivers;a first processor; anda first memory comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the first processor, cause the first playback device to carry out functions comprising:receiving, via the first network interface from a source device, stereo audio data comprising a left audio channel and a right audio channel;detecting one or more presses of a designated button on the first playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device representing a first command to form a stereo pair;in response to the first command, forming a particular stereo pair, wherein the first playback device is designated to play the left audio channel of the stereo audio data; andafter forming the particular stereo pair, (i) sending, via the first network interface to a second playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, via the one or more first speaker drivers, the left audio channel of the stereo audio data; andthe second playback device comprising: a second network interface;one or more second speaker drivers;a second processor; anda second memory comprising a set of instructions that, when executed by the second processor, cause the second playback device to carry out functions comprising: detecting one or more presses of a designated button on the second playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the second playback device representing a second command to form the stereo pair with the first playback device;in response to the second command, forming the particular stereo pair, wherein the second playback device is designated to play the right audio channel of the stereo audio data; andafter forming the particular stereo pair, (i) wirelessly receiving, via the second network interface from the first playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, via the one or more second speaker drivers, the right audio channel of the stereo audio data. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein detecting one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device comprises detecting a single press of the designated button on the first playback device. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein detecting one or more presses of the designated button on the second playback device comprises detecting a single press of the designated button on the second playback device. 11. The system of claim 7, wherein sending at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data comprises sending both of (i) the left audio channel and (ii) the right audio channel. 12. The system of claim 7, wherein sending at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data comprises sending only the right audio channel. 13. The system of claim 7, further comprising: after detecting the first command, detecting by the first playback device, the second playback device. 14. The system of claim 7, further comprising: after detecting the second command, detecting by the second playback device, the first playback device. 15. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable by a processor to cause a media playback system to perform functions comprising: receiving, via a network interface of a first playback device of the media playback system from a source device, stereo audio data comprising a left audio channel and a right audio channel;detecting, by the first playback device, one or more presses of a designated button on the first playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device representing a first command to form a stereo pair;detecting, by a second playback device of the media playback system, one or more presses of a designated button on the second playback device, the one or more presses of the designated button on the second playback device representing a second command to form the stereo pair with the first playback device;in response to the first command and the second command, forming a particular stereo pair, wherein the first playback device is designated to play the left audio channel of the stereo audio data and a second playback device is designated to play the right audio channel of the stereo audio data;after forming the particular stereo pair, (i) sending, from the first playback device to the second playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, by the first playback device, the left audio channel of the stereo audio data; andafter forming the particular stereo pair, (i) wirelessly receiving, by the second playback device from the first playback device, at least the right audio channel of the stereo audio data, and (ii) playing, by the second playback device, the right audio channel of the stereo audio data. 16. The tangible non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein detecting one or more presses of the designated button on the first playback device comprises detecting a single press of the designated button on the first playback device. 17.
