Creating and displaying an adaptive menu structure for media files. The invention includes authoring software to create the menu structure to enable a user to navigate the media files using a media player. The invention also includes filtering software to adapt the created menu structure to display menu information on a display associated with the media player as a function of a media type associated with the media player. In one embodiment, the invention is operable as part of a compressed media format having a set of small files containing metadata, menus, and playlists in a compiled binary format designed for playback on feature-rich personal computer media players as well as low cost media players.

Grouping and navigating media files within a playlist on a computer-readable medium. Invention software selects media files according to a grouping criterion to define a group from the media files. The invention software generates a group header associated with the group. The group header includes a value identifying the defined group and a reference to another group to enable navigation. The invention software stores the selected media files, the playlist, the defined groups, and the associated group headers on a computer-readable medium. The invention software also includes playback software for navigating and selecting media files via groups within a playlist. In one embodiment, the invention is operable as part of a compressed media format having a set of small files containing metadata, menus, and playlists in a compiled binary formal designed for playback on feature-rich personal computer media players as well as low cost media players.

It has been difficult to replay data in a manner which better suits a user's intention. A recording/replaying system comprises a recording medium 15 on which a plurality of data pieces are recorded, write file managing means 11 which records on the recording medium 15 one or multiple lists which are for selecting predetermined data pieces from among the plurality of recorded data pieces and specifying thus selected determined data pieces, file recording means 14, control means 21 which replays the predetermined data pieces specified by the lists based on thus recorded one or multiple lists, the file replaying means 23, and the data file outputting means 24.
