Abstract: A graphical user interface (“GUI”) can be presented on a remote control accessory device that has user input and display devices. The GUI can be defined and managed by a portable media device that is controlled using the GUI. The portable media device can provide the accessory with a GUI image to be displayed. The accessory can send information to the portable media device indicative of a user operation of an input device in response to the displayed image. The portable media device can process this input to identify the action requested by the user and take the appropriate action, which can include updating the GUI image provided to the accessory.

Abstract: Media players and associated methods are described that may allow a user to initiate playback of content or other media assets based on information associated with content. A media player may receive information associated with content from a user selection of a song, movie, photo, or the like. Based on the information, the media player may procure other additional content to be added to a playlist. The media player may automatically add to a playlist or modify a playlist with content that matches a user's preferences for artists, albums, genres, or the like. The user may interact with the media player to determine what content is added and how a playlist should be mixed. The user may specify how much of any content procured by the media player should be present in the playlist without the need to specify each individual item that constitutes a playlist.

Abstract translation: 描述媒体播放器和相关联的方法，其可以允许用户基于与内容相关联的信息来发起内容或其他媒体资产的回放。 媒体播放器可以从用户选择歌曲，电影，照片等接收与内容相关联的信息。 基于该信息，媒体播放器可以采购要添加到播放列表的其他附加内容。 媒体播放器可以自动添加到播放列表或者修改与用户对艺术家，专辑，流派等的偏好相匹配的内容的播放列表。 用户可以与媒体播放器进行交互以确定添加什么内容以及如何混合播放列表。 用户可以指定媒体播放器采购的任何内容的多少应该存在于播放列表中，而不需要指定构成播放列表的每个单独的项目。
