Abstract
A system and method of refreshing a user'"'"'s pre-selected content automatically every time a playback device is connected to a provider system. The user selects what order and time the electronic content is provided and played back and electronic content to be “broken in” during a differently scheduled set of electronic content. The system can track which playback device is in use and provide “handoff” features between devices. The system allows a user to identify temporary playback devices. Another embodiment automatically generates playlists or schedules based on the user'"'"'s previous selections. The system analyses the amount of unused memory on the user device and generates a playlist to fill any or all available memory on the user device. Also, if the user links the user'"'"'s organizer, the system alters the user'"'"'s schedule or customizes the automatically generated schedule to the user'"'"'s date book.
