Abstract
A method executed in a data processing system is provided for generating a list of media for playback from different types of audio and video media. Initially, a list of different types of media available for playback is identified. Based on the identification, the list of media is displayed. Using this list of media, a multimedia playlist is created including audio and video media from the list of media. Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for playing different types of audio and video media on different audio and video devices. Initially, a multimedia playlist having a list of audio and video media is loaded. The first entry of media in the multimedia playlist is selected for playback. This first entry of media is processed and played back on a device compatible with the first entry of media. A subsequent entry of media in the multimedia playlist is also selected for playback. This subsequent entry of media is processed and played back on a device capable of processing the subsequent entry of media.
