Abstract
A method comprises storing information regarding content previously played by a user, the information including a playback frequency; determining new content similar to the content previously played; scoring the new content based on the stored information; and sorting the new content based on the scoring. The method may comprise computing a frequency of relatedness based on the number of times new content was determined to be similar, and may score the new content based on the frequency of relatedness. The content may be considered previously played if the playback time exceeded a wait time. The new content may include repeats, a current or future scheduled broadcast, content available for download, and/or content stored locally. The determining step may include comparing channel number, metadata, content frequency, genre, author, artist, album and/or keywords. The method may comprise generating a weighting factor magnifying relevance of the new content, possibly based on desired variety.
