1. A method of a server device comprising:

  • analyzing a media data of a client device using a processor to determine at least one meta-data identifier associated with the media data and wherein at least one meta-data identifier is generated by a client application that is agnostic of a type of media player application compatible with the media data, wherein the media data is a multimedia data and wherein the meta-data identifier is determined primarily based on an audio data embedded in the multimedia data;

    automatically populating a new mark-up language file using an existing media-collection data associated with certain items of the media data;

    wherein the new mark-up language file includes an arrangement of the existing media-collection data of the certain items associated with the media data of the client device, and wherein the existing media-collection data is executable by interested parties as a radio station, wherein the new mark-up language file includes a 30 second media segment of certain items of the media data that is associated with the existing media-collection data, wherein the existing media-collection data is generated by analyzing a usage pattern of at least one of the client device and a peripheral device, wherein the peripheral device is a portable media player, and wherein the client device is a two-way mobile communication device;

    associating the new mark-up language file and the arrangement with a particular user; and

    associating the particular user with other mark-up language files associated with other users based on similar attributes in the arrangement of the particular user and other arrangements associated with the other users;

    determining a compatibility rating between the user and the other users based on the similar attributes between the arrangement and the other arrangements;

    enabling each user of the server device to view mark-up language files of the other users;

    registering a particular one of the other users when the particular one of the other users responds to a hook data in a communication between the user and the other users;

    forming a group between the user and at least one of the other users based on a threshold parameter of the compatibility rating, wherein the other users include an admired user whose contribution is shared with the group;

    applying a widget chosen from a group comprising of a party widget, a personal detail widget, a tag widget, a guestbook widget, an internal messaging widget, a share widget, a photo widget, a tuned-in now widget, a post widget, a reviews widget, and a live event widget to the new mark-up language file;

    wherein the widget is a drag and drop widget, and wherein a content data created using the post widget is automatically displayed on the new mark-up language file and at least one of an artist mark-up language file, an album mark-up language file, a particular item mark-up language file, and a fan club mark-up language file, wherein the content data is displayed before other content data when a peer client device affiliated with the client device reaches the at least one of the artist mark-up language file, the album mark-up language file, the particular item mark-up language file, and the fan club mark-up language file through the new mark-up language file;

    processing a payment from an interested party when the new mark-up language file develops a patron base above a threshold value;

    displaying an advertisement of the interested party on the new mark-up language file;

    communicating the media data to the server device to determine at least one meta-data identifier associated with the media data;

    localizing the new mark-up language file in at least one of a plurality of languages comprising English, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Italian;

    applying the at least one meta-data identifier such that it is agnostic of a type of media player application compatible with the media data;

    developing an arrangement of the existing media-collection data associated with the certain items of the media data;

    identifying a collection of media data of the user of a peripheral device coupled with a client application module of the client device;

    associating the collection of media data with a profile of the user on the server device;

    automatically populating a new mark-up language file of the user on the server device when the collection of media data of the user of the peripheral device is identified by the client application module of the client device, wherein the collection of media data is an arrangement of media files grouped by the user based on a set of preferences of the user;

    wherein the arrangement of the media data is an organization of the media by the user based on individual media preferences of the user comprising at least one of a musical preference, an artistic preference, a cultural preference and a hobby preference;

    identifying a different collection of media data of a different user of a different peripheral device coupled with a different client application module of a different client device;

    associating the different collection of media data with a different profile of the different user on the server device;

    automatically populating a different new mark-up language file of the different user on the server device when the different collection of media data of the different user of the different peripheral device is identified by the different client application module of the different client device, wherein the different collection of media data is a similar arrangement of media files as that of the collection of media data of the user;

    determining a compatibility rating between the user and the different user based on the similar arrangement; and

    recommending that the user and the different user access mark-up language files of each other based on the similar arrangement even when the user and the different user have no prior association with each other.
