摘要： Improved techniques and graphical user interfaces that assist users in searching through a group of media items are disclosed. According to one aspect, a search assistant (e.g., search bar) can be graphically presented to a user to assist the user in selecting search criteria. In one embodiment, the search assistant can be automatically presented when a search process is being considered by a user. In another embodiment, the search assistant can be context sensitive so as to adapt to different types of media items.

摘要： A system and method for presenting reproduction of media objects. A plurality of media objects is retrieved. The plurality of media objects is reproduced one after another on a media reproduction system. One or more graphical objects are presented on a display of the media reproduction system. Each graphical object of the plurality of graphical objects corresponds to each of the plurality of media objects being reproduced. As each of the plurality of media objects is reproduced, a corresponding graphical object presented on the display moves from a beginning side of the display to an end side of the display in relation to an amount of the corresponding media object being reproduced. As reproduction of the plurality of media objects transitions from one media object to a next media object, the graphical object corresponding to the next media object to be reproduced is presented from the beginning side of the display.

摘要翻译： 一种用于呈现媒体对象的再现的系统和方法。 检索多个媒体对象。 多个媒体对象在媒体再现系统上被一个接一个地再现。 一个或多个图形对象被呈现在媒体再现系统的显示器上。 多个图形对象中的每个图形对象对应于被再现的多个媒体对象中的每一个。 随着多个媒体对象中的每一个被再现，呈现在显示器上的相应图形对象相对于被再现的相应媒体对象的量从显示器的开始侧移动到显示器的一端。 由于多个媒体对象的再现从一个媒体对象转换到下一个媒体对象，所以从显示的起始侧呈现与要再现的下一个媒体对象相对应的图形对象。

摘要： Techniques to facilitate acquiring a media season, or a related series, of digital media assets from an on-line media store are disclosed. A user can view various media seasons that have been listed as available for purchase from the on-line media store. A user can choose to purchase a particular media season, either before or during the season. Subsequent to the purchase of the particular media season, digital media assets of the particular media season can be delivered to the user once the digital media assets become available. Since the monitoring is computerized and the delivery is electronic, once a digital media asset becomes available, delivery can be automatically processed.
