Abstract

Playback list creation for digital programs in a digital device utilizes navigation path used to locate a particular digital program in a hierarchally-ordered grouping of digital programs, the grouping based on organization parameters of the digital program. The playback list is created from digital programs within the navigation path used to reach the selected digital program. The playback list may be shuffle-played or played in order. Playback of a different digital program causes changes to the navigation path, which then changes the playback list. In an MP3 player, for example, ID3 tag attributes are used as organization parameters to provide hierarchal grouping of digital audio files.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the creation of digital program playback lists in digital devices, and more particularly, to the creation of playback lists utilizing hierarchical grouping of digital program data for playback list creation. Background technique [0002] Audio and video programming, such as in the form of music and movies, is available in the form of digitized data, which can be conveniently stored and played back on a variety of digital devices. The variety of digital devices capable of storing and playing audio and video digital programs is increasing. Portable devices that can process digitally encoded audio data stored in solid-state memory devices or small hard disk devices are very popular. [0003] For example, digital audio devices such as MP3 players allow users to load thousands of songs, but accessing and listening to these songs in a way that attracts the user's attention other than using albums or artists has become a curr...
