Abstract:
Listings of media content items can be presented on a user device in an ownership-agnostic matter. For instance, a user device can interact with both a streaming media service and a personal media collection, portions of which might or might not be hosted by the streaming media service. A listing of media content items that satisfy selection criteria can be presented in a page with multiple tabs. One tab can include a listing of all content items from the streaming music service that satisfy the criteria, regardless of whether the content items are associated with the user's personal collection. Another tab can include a listing of all content items in the user's personal collection that satisfy the criteria, regardless of whether the content items are in the catalog of the streaming music service.
