Abstract
A media file management application implemented in a digital communication device. The media file management application provides the user with various ways to display media file representations, so that a user can easily locate a media file or view the contents of a media file. By providing for alternative means for displaying media file representations, the media file management application is highly adaptable to mobile devices that typically have condensed displays that limit the amount of viewable area.
