System and method for selecting a media file for a mobile device
First Claim
1. A system for selecting a media file, comprising:
- a media store configured to store a plurality of media files;
a monitor configured to determine a heuristic associated with each media file in the plurality of media files; and
a media manager coupled to the media store and the monitor, and configured to select the media file from the plurality of media files based in part on the heuristic associated with the media file and a selection rule.

Abstract
A system and method is directed to selecting a media file for a mobile device. The system is configured to select a media file from a plurality of media files based in part on a selection rule, and a heuristic associated with the media file. Heuristics are collected based in part on execution of the media file. The heuristics may include skipping a media file, repeating a-media file, and a frequency of execution of the media file. In one embodiment, a user interface enables a consumer to determine a frequency the media file is selected. The selection rule may include selecting a media file based on an artist, a seasonal characteristic of the media file, size of the media file, frequency of selection of the media file, and other heuristics associated with the media file.
