摘要： Integrated management of local media files stored at a computer and remote media files accessible via a data communication network. A compressed catalog of the remote media files is stored locally on the computer. A user interface of a media player application displays the contents of a library of local media files and the contents of the compressed catalog. The user interface is configured to receive user input and the media player application is responsive to the user input for performing the media player operations on media files from either the local media library or the compressed catalog or both.

摘要： Integrated management of local and remote media files. A playlist of media files adapted for rendering by a media player application are located in either a local media library stored at the computer or a remote media library accessible by the computer via a data communication network or both. Media player operations may be performed on the playlist. A first identifier identifies each of the media files in the playlist and a second identifier represents a source of each of the media files in the playlist. A streaming locator defined by the first and second identifiers locates each of the media files in the playlist in the local media library and then in the remote library.

摘要： Integrated management of local media files stored at a computer and remote media files accessible via a data communication network. A hierarchical structure displayed in a user interface of a media player application represents local and remote media libraries and permits media player operations on the media files from either the local media library or the remote media library or both. The user interface is configured to receive user input and the media player application is responsive to the user input for performing the media player operations.

摘要： A method for generating a subgroup of one or more media items from a library of media items. The method monitors user playback control actions during a playback experience with the library on a media player. The method chooses a selecting filter based upon the monitored user playback control action and generates a subgroup of media items selected from the library of media items by applying the selecting filter to the library of media items. The method may further order the subgroup of media items. A system also generates a subgroup of one or more media items from a library of media items. The system comprises a processor for monitoring a user playback control action during a playback experience with the library, a selecting filter adapted to generate a subgroup of media items from the library of media items, and a user interface adapted for presenting the user with the subgroup of media items for playing on a media player.

摘要： A system and method for suggesting a list of media items to a user. The method comprises presenting a user with a selection element for gathering a seed for generating a list of media items related to the seed. The method further receives a seed selection from the user and identifies one or more characteristics of the seed. The method further generates a suggested list of media items with characteristics corresponding to the one or more characteristics of the seed. The method additionally presents the user with the suggested list of media items and a choice of selecting media items or groups of media items in the suggested list. A system for executing the method comprises a user interface, a processor, and a data source for generating the suggested list by evaluating characteristics of the media items to similar find media items.

摘要： A method for generating a list of media items selected from a library of media items in response to only a single action being performed. The method displays information identifying a portion of the library of media items and selects a group of media items from the portion of the library in response to only a single action. By utilizing only a portion of the media items in the library, the generated list of media items is desirable to a user by excluding less desirable media items.

摘要： A method for establishing a filtering engine for generating an ordered list of one or more media items selected from a library of media items. A user can select multiple filters and assign a weight to the filters according to the importance of each filter. In response, the playlist engine will generate a playlist of media items according to the weighted filters. A user interface includes elements for selecting and weighting filters for generating such a playlist.

摘要： A method and system for managing the layout of an application window during a resize operation. An application is responsive to a resize request to automatically resize the application window to have minimum height and/or width the dimensions when the user adjusts one or more of the window's dimensions below a threshold value. The application is also responsive to the resize request to selectively add or remove control components from the user interface in response to size adjustments to the window being made by the user.

摘要： A graphical user interface allows users to access multiple third party services (e.g., online media services) and enables the services to provide functionality within the GUI adjacent to core functionality of a host application (e.g., a media player application, operating system shell, etc.). The GUI provides an interface region for third party service functionality that is distinct from, but equal in exposure and prominence to, the core functionality provided by the application hosting the GUI. The GUI enables seamless switching between a list of available services provided in a service menu. Switching between services replaces service function buttons and service branding according to particular service customizations.

摘要翻译： 图形用户界面允许用户访问多个第三方服务（例如，在线媒体服务），并使服务能够在与主机应用的核心功能（例如，媒体播放器应用，操作系统外壳等）相邻的GUI内提供功能 。）。 GUI提供了用于第三方服务功能的接口区域，该接口区域与承载GUI的应用程序提供的核心功能不同，但在曝光和显着性方面相同。 GUI允许在服务菜单中提供的可用服务列表之间进行无缝切换。 服务之间的切换根据特定的服务定制来替换服务功能按钮和服务品牌。
