1. A computer implemented method for configuring automatic playback settings on a media playback device, the method comprising:
displaying a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of selectors for enabling and disabling automatic playback of one or more media context categories;
receiving selections of one or more of the plurality of selectors;
receiving a selection of media content for playback on the media playback device, the media content comprising an initial queue of media content items having a media context category of the one or more media context categories;
retrieving the initial queue of media content items;
determining whether the initial queue of media content items is enabled for automatic playback of media content based on the selections of the one or more of the plurality of selectors for enabling the automatic playback of the media context category of the initial queue of media content items;
upon determining that the initial queue of media content items is enabled for automatic playback of media content, retrieving an autoplay queue of media content items based on the selections of the one or more of the plurality of selectors for enabling the automatic playback of the media context category of the initial queue of media content items, the autoplay queue of media content items being related to the initial queue of media content items; and
upon concluding playback of the initial queue of media content items, automatically initiating playback of the autoplay queue of media content items.
