Abstract
An apparatus is configured to present a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes category, subcategory and media content fields. The category field identifies therein categories associated with pieces of media content. The apparatus is configured to receive selection of an identified category, and in response thereto, (a) note the selected category in the category field of the GUI; and (b) identify, in the subcategory field of the GUI, subcategories associated with piece of media content, and in the hierarchy, logically underneath the selected category. The apparatus is also configured to receive selection of an identified subcategory, and in response thereto, (a) note the selected subcategory in the subcategory field of the GUI; and (b) identify, in the media content field of the GUI, pieces of media content logically underneath the selected subcategory in the hierarchy. The apparatus is then configured to receive selection of an identified piece of media content.
