ABSTRACT:
System, method and computer program product for rejecting or deferring the playing of a media file retrieved by an automated process. Rejection or deferral of an automatically playing media file is accomplished by a simplified user interface which presumes that a currently playing media file is acceptable unless the user signals the media player within a given timeframe. Signaling of the media player is accomplished using one or more sensors. The sensors include but are not limited to a motion sensor, an inclination sensor, a gesture sensor, a video sensor, a push-button switch and any combination thereof. The rejection or deferral of a media file by the user results in that file not being automatically selected again by the automated processes for at least a predetermined amount of time. The rejection or deferral of a media file by the user may also result in updating a record in a memory that is used by the predictive program to select media files in the future and thereby enable the predictive program to automatically select media files in the future that are more likely to match a users media file preferences at that time.
