ABSTRACT:
Methods, devices, systems and data structures are provided for selecting an audio track on a digital audio player. A user of a digital media player is able to select a desired audio track by listening to excerpts of various tracks until the desired track is identified. One exemplary technique for selecting a desired audio track accessible by a media player, for example, begins by sequentially providing a number of audio excerpts to the user, with each audio excerpt corresponding to a recognizable portion of an audio track. When the user hears an excerpt of a desired track, an indication is provided and the media player plays the desired audio track. The excerpt may be of any duration and may incorporate any portion of the audio track that is likely to be recognizable by the user.
