Abstract:

A graphical user-interface for a multi-source media player that optimizes the presentation of content and navigational choices to a user, as well as the user's interactive experience, is described. Methods of enabling users to access, manage and listen to content, whether delivered over an IP, satellite, other communications channel, or some/all of such channels, are presented. The user-interface can include, for example, tile, icon and album art-based user-interface elements. The user-interface elements may be selected via touch screen, voice commands, trackball and remote touch activated panels, as well as haptic devices or rotary controllers, or various multi-modal combinations of inputs and control signals.
