    Abstract: A method performed by an accessory 104, e.g. AM/FM or high definition (HDTV) receiver, connected to portable media device (PMD) 102, comprises: determining whether a received broadcast track will be tagged, generating a tag comprising track identifying information, instructing connected PMD to open a tag file in a store, and writing the tag to the file. Also independently claimed is a similar method simply instructing the PMD to save the tag, omitting the 'file open' step. Also, a method including receiving plural tracks, with metadata, tagging a currently playing track, and instructing the PMD to open a tag file for a tag record containing a metadata portion for the current track. In addition, an accessory for a PMD, including a tag extraction engine; a method wherein a handle for a tag file is returned from media device to accessory; a method including communicating a tag identification information portion via a media asset delivery service; and a media asset access method generating an entry in a list of media assets. Further methods acquire a media asset including affiliate identifier requests that identify a referral source from which a client device obtained a unique asset (track) associated identifier.

    Abstract: An accessory (110) can create and manage a playlist (211) for a portable media player (202) and can incorporate into the playlist tracks already queued for playback when the accessory connects to the portable media device. A first command from the accessory instructs the media device to make a selection and a second command instructs the media device to add the selection to the playlist 414 maintained in the media player. Other commands can be used to add a group of media items or remove items and create playlists. In one example, an accessory can determine whether the database of the portable media device was updated while the portable media device was disconnected from the accessory. In a third example, an accessory can obtain database navigation history and initialize a database navigation interface to match the database navigation history. Enhances a user's ability to control operation of the portable media device using a remote user interface provided by the accessory.

    Abstract: A device displays a first user interface on a first display, including a plurality of objects and corresponding to a second user interface on a second display. While a first object is displayed as a selected object in the second user interface, the device: detects a first input requesting information about a second object; and in response to detecting the first input, displays information about the second object in the first user interface and maintains display of the first object as the selected object in the second user interface. After displaying the information, the device detects a second input selecting the second object. In response to detecting selection of the second input, the device: displays the second object as the selected object in the first user interface; and provides, to the second display, information that enables the second user interface to display the second object as the selected object.
