Abstract: In a method and system for navigating content, a selection of a content item is received in an application for browsing and viewing media content. Metadata related to the selected content item is retrieved. A plurality of user interface panels is generated in a user interface, with each user interface panel being related to an aspect of the selected content item. Each user interface panel is populated with correspondingly relevant metadata of the retrieved metadata. A selection of a metadata item is received in one of the plurality of user interface panels. Media content is thus browsable by iteratively repeating the steps of retrieving, the generating, the populating, and the receiving of the selection of the metadata item.
