ABSTRACT:
A portable digital media player and method for providing convenient music logging is provided. A music collection is maintained and includes music stored in digital media form on a portable digital media player. A music sample is recorded from an ambient environment and is encoded in digital media form. Information is added to the music recommendation to describe the music sample, to identify the recommender, to capture a context of the music sample, and to optionally specify a rating. A sampling event is saved, which includes the music sample and the information, in a log file on the player. At least part of the information from the sampling event is integrated into a display of the music collection on the player. The information is displayed as integrated. Action upon the music sample is facilitated through playback or addition of the music to the music collection through an external source.
