Abstract
A digital media player is disclosed. The digital media player can permit one or a group of users to play digital media in a convenient and user-friendly manner. Typically, a memory card stores the digital media to be played by the digital media player. After the memory card is coupled to the digital media player, the digital media player can operate to play (e.g., view) or manipulate (e.g., zoom, rotate, delete, etc.) digital media. The digital media player can also operate to archive the digital media in a reduced resolution format. The reduced resolution format is adequate for an intended output device, yet has a substantially reduced file size.
