ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a media player and media player interface. The media player includes a storage unit for various types of media, media related data, and media selection logic. The media player interface is either built into the media player or a separate component such as a remote control. Either way, the media player interface includes a single point interface. When the single point interface is triggered by a user, the media selection logic selects an item of media by reference to the media related data. The media related data includes information that determines the probability of a particular item of media being selected by the media selection logic. The act of triggering the single point interface provides the media selection logic with information to update the media related data. The media selection logic may also consider the current sequence of selections, so that a single item is not likely to be selected back-to-back.
