Abstract
Improved approaches to access information concerning media asset groups are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first web page can include a user-selectable control that, upon selection, can request information on a particular media asset group from a remote media asset web server. In response to the request, the remote media asset web server can return a second web page containing the information on the particular media asset group.
