    Abstract: Playlists having media items from more than one source are described. Media items in a first library are mapped to media items from an online media item store. Media items within the playlist that can be found in the first library will be played from the first library, while media items not within the first library will be played from the online media store. By identifying media items present in both libraries and playing them only from the first library, the described method can reduce the royalties needing to be paid by the online media store. Further methods are disclosed for setting limits on the number of media items that can be shared by a second library.

    Abstract: Listings of media content items can be presented on a user device in an ownership-agnostic matter. For instance, a user device can interact with both a streaming media service and a personal media collection, portions of which might or might not be hosted by the streaming media service. A listing of media content items that satisfy selection criteria can be presented in a page with multiple tabs. One tab can include a listing of all content items from the streaming music service that satisfy the criteria, regardless of whether the content items are associated with the user's personal collection. Another tab can include a listing of all content items in the user's personal collection that satisfy the criteria, regardless of whether the content items are in the catalog of the streaming music service.

    Abstract translation: 媒体内容项的列表可以在所有权不知情的事项上呈现在用户设备上。 例如,用户设备可以与流媒体服务和个人媒体集合进行交互,这些媒体集合的一部分可能由或可能不由流媒体服务托管。 可以在具有多个选项卡的页面中显示满足选择条件的媒体内容项目列表。 一个标签可以包括来自满足条件的流式音乐服务的所有内容项目的列表,而不管内容项目是否与用户的个人收藏相关联。 另一个标签可以包括满足标准的用户个人收藏中的所有内容项目的列表,而不管内容项目是否在流式音乐服务的目录中。
