    Abstract: Methods and systems for presenting multiple images of entities associated with media items in a media list are provided. A method may include identifying a first entity associated with a first media item in a media list. The first media item may be associated with a first time period. A second entity associated with a second media item may be identified in the media list. The second media item may be associated with a second time period. Next, from a database of entity images, a first image of the first entity may be selected based on the first time period and a second image of the second entity may be selected based on the second time period. As a result, the first image and the second image may be presented in an interface during activation of the media list.

    Abstract: A method for automatically undoing an action in a music player application is provided. A method includes storing a first state in a media application. The first state may include at least one of: a list of one or more media items listed in a first order, and a first time position in a first media item of the one or more media items. An action changing the first state to a second state may be received. Next, a request to undo the action changing the first state to the second state may be received, and the first state may be restored based on the stored first state. The method may also include presenting a list of one or more prior actions and each prior action may change the media application to a corresponding state different from a preceding state.

    Abstract: Techniques, systems, and computer readable media are provided that allow for portions of media items to be cached, prior to selection of any media item for playback by a user. The portion of a media item to be cached is determined based upon one or more caching factors, such as the likelihood that a user will select the media item for playback. Playback of a media item thus may begin without any noticeable buffering or caching, immediately upon selection of the media item by the user.

    Abstract translation: 提供技术,系统和计算机可读介质,其允许在选择用于用户回放的任何媒体项目之前缓存媒体项目的部分。 要缓存的媒体项目的部分基于一个或多个高速缓存因素来确定,诸如用户将选择要播放的媒体项目的可能性。 因此,当用户选择媒体项目时,媒体项目的播放可以开始而没有任何明显的缓冲或缓存。

    Abstract: One or more segments of media content are designated for rendering at a higher quality when possible over a connection having a bandwidth that is too limited to support streaming of the entire media at that quality. Some of the media is streamed at a lower quality, leaving some bandwidth available for pre-streaming higher quality segments that can be wholly or partly cached before they are due to be rendered. When the higher quality content is to be rendered, the cached segment data can be used to render the segment at the higher quality to the user.

    Abstract: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide techniques for operating a media application in an incognito mode. A method may include operating a media application in a first mode and providing a first indication of a first user action in the media application to a media application provider. Next, an instruction may be received to operate the media application in a second mode. A second indication of a second user action may be received in the media application and the second user action may be performed. Then, the second indication of the second user action may be discarded without providing the second indication of the second user action to the media application provider.

    Abstract: A system, computer program product and method for dynamically digesting one or more user notifications based at least in part on one or more rules are disclosed. In some implementations, the system includes a notification receiver module, a rule application module and a notification digestion module. The notification receiver module receives notifications including a first notification. The rule application module obtains rules for determining a send condition including a delay time and a maximum delay time, sets the delay time and the max delay time, determines whether another notification is received within the delay time, resets the delay time responsive to another notification being received within the delay time, and repeats the determination and delay time reset until a send condition occurs. The notification digestion module, responsive to the send condition occurring, digests the notification(s) received prior to the send condition and sends a digested notification to the user.
