Systems and methods to select media content
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- dynamically selecting content items for presentation via a media player based on user media selection settings,wherein the user media selection settings specify a first proportion of a first category of a plurality of categories of media content to be presented and a second proportion of at least one second category of the plurality of categories of media content,wherein the at least one second category includes a user defined category, andwherein first media content is associated with the first category based on an intrinsic property of the first media content,associating, at a first time, second media content with the user defined category based on a second time at which the second media content was saved to a first storage location of the second media content, wherein the second media content is associated with the user defined category independent of the first time; and
moving the second media content to a second storage location in response to the second media content being assigned to a different category of media content, wherein the second media content is no longer associated with the first storage location after the second media content is moved.

Abstract
Systems and methods to select media content are provided. A method includes dynamically selecting content items for presentation via a media player based on user media selection settings. The user media selection settings specify a proportion of a first category of media content to be presented and a proportion of at least one second category of media content to be presented. The at least one second category includes a user defined category. First media content is associated with the first category based on an intrinsic property of the first media content and second media content is associated with the user defined category based on a property that is not intrinsic to the second media content. The method also includes generating an output stream presenting the dynamically selected content items.

12. A system, comprising:
-
a media selection module comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including; dynamically selecting media content items for presentation based on user media selection settings, wherein the user media selection settings specify a first proportion of a first category of a plurality of categories of media content to be presented and a second proportion of at least one second category of the plurality of categories of media content, wherein the at least one second category includes a user defined category; associating first media content with the first category based on an intrinsic property of the first media content; and associating, at a first time, second media content with the user defined category based on a second time at which the second media content was saved to a storage location associated with the user defined category, wherein the second media content is associated with the user defined category independent of the first time; and a media player configured to generate an output stream presenting the dynamically selected media content items. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, comprising:
-
dynamically selecting media content items for presentation based on user playlist settings, wherein the user playlist settings specify a first proportion of a first category of a plurality of categories of media content to be presented and a second proportion of at least one second category of the plurality of categories of media content, wherein the at least one second category includes a user defined category, and wherein first media content is associated with the first category based on an intrinsic property of the first media content; associating, at a first time, second media content with the user defined category based on a second time at which the second media content was saved to a storage location associated with the user defined category, wherein the second media content is associated with the user defined category independent of the first time; and moving the second media content to a different storage location in response to the second media content being assigned to a different category of media content, wherein the second media content is no longer associated with an original storage location after the second media content is moved.
