1. A method comprising:
- detecting an event that corresponds to presenting of a first media content on a device;
determining that a second media content of a same type as the first media content is currently playing on the device;
determining information about the first media content and the second media content;
determining a first priority value for the first media content based, at least in part on the information about the first media content and a second priority value for the second media content based, at least in part, on the information about the second media content; and
manipulating presenting of one or both of the first and the second media contents based, at least in part, on the first and the second priority values.

Abstract
Automatically manipulating presentation of two or more conflicting media contents can prevent intrusive or interruptive presentation of media content. A user can be freed of manually manipulating presentation of media content. The media content is prioritized based on one or more factors, such as predefined user input, location information, metadata about the media content, etc. Subsequently, presentation of the media content is manipulated in accordance with the prioritizing.
