    Abstract: Techniques for interacting with an online media store to obtain a media asset bundle, such as a digital boxset, are disclosed. These techniques involve, for instance, browsing for a media asset bundle that includes at least one non-playable media asset, purchasing the media asset bundle, obtaining the media assets contained in the media asset bundle, determining if a presentation request has been made for a media asset in the media asset bundle, and presenting the requested media asset. Further, these techniques involve playing the media assets in a media asset bundle by selecting a media asset in the media asset bundle, determining whether the media asset is playable or non-playable, presenting the media asset using an appropriate media asset viewer if it is playable, not playing (skipping) the media asset if it is non-playable, and selecting/playing other media assets in the media asset bundle until no more media assets are available to be played.

    Abstract: Media bundles described herein can associate digital media assets so as to be able to provide media presentations involving the digital media assets at a client device. A media bundle can be used on a client device to support media presentation of digital media assets at the client device. The media presentation can provide a multimedia experience for the user of the client device. Conversion data can be provided to the client device to facilitate mapping from provider identifiers within the media bundle to identifiers used by a media distribution system.

    Abstract: Improved approaches for users of computing devices to interact with graphical user interfaces are described. According to one aspect, a rotational user action supplied by a user at a user input device is transformed into linear action with respect to a graphical user interface. According to another aspect, a portion of an extended list of items is displayed by a graphical user interface and, through rotational user actions at a user input device, the portion of the list being displayed can be varied with welcomed ease of use. Although the type of computing device can vary, the improved approaches are particularly well-suited for use with a portable media player.

    Abstract translation: 描述了计算设备用户与图形用户界面交互的改进方法。 根据一个方面,由用户在用户输入设备处提供的旋转用户动作被转换为相对于图形用户界面的线性动作。 根据另一方面,扩展列表项目的一部分由图形用户界面显示,并且通过在用户输入设备处的旋转用户动作,正在显示的列表的部分可以随着易用性而改变。 尽管计算设备的类型可以变化,但是改进的方法特别适合于与便携式媒体播放器一起使用。

    Abstract: Improved techniques and apparatus for managing data between a host device (e.g., host computer) and a client device. The data being managed can, for example, pertain to portable computer programs, such as widgets. The managing of the data thus can involve transfer of portable computer programs (e.g., widgets) between the host device and the client device. In one embodiment, the transfer of portable computer programs between a host device and a client device can be referred to as synchronization.
