1. A control device comprising:
a display;
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the control device is configured to:
based on a first determination that the control device is connected, over a local area network (LAN), to a playback network comprising a portable playback device and at least one additional playback device:
