1. An apparatus for generating a playlist, comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory and a catalog database, and configured to function as;
a playlist engine evaluator configured to;
evaluate a rule corresponding to each rule-primitive in a set of rule-primitives across a catalog of media content stored in the catalog database;
evaluate a set of corresponding weights respectively associated with one or more rule-primitives;
calculate a rule cost associated with each item in the catalog of media content and the weight associated with the corresponding rule-primitive; and
generate a playlist based on the items of the catalog having the lowest rule costs.

Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are provided for generating a playlist. An application programming interface (API) receives a request to generate a playlist, where the request includes a set of rule-primitives. A playlist engine evaluator evaluates a rule corresponding to each rule-primitive in the set of rule-primitives across a catalog of media content, calculates a cost associated with each item in the catalog of media content, and generates a playlist based on the items of the catalog having the lowest costs.
