1. A computing device comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the computing device is configured to:
receive, from a first playback device that is located outside of a local area network (LAN), a first sound profile, wherein the first sound profile corresponds to a sound profile for a particular type of audio content and comprises audio playback equalization parameters for activation by a second playback device that is located inside of the LAN when the second playback device plays the particular type of audio content; and
transmit the first sound profile to the second playback device, wherein after the second playback device has stored the first sound profile and received a command to play the audio content, the second playback device is configured to (i) play the audio content according to the first sound profile when the audio content comprises the particular type of audio content and (ii) play the audio content according to a sound profile other than the first sound profile when the audio content does not comprise the particular type of audio content.
