    Abstract: A media playback queue defining the upcoming playback sequence of media data items may be continually generated using an automatic software function or manual user selections. The playback queue may be edited to modify or re-arrange the upcoming playback sequence. Automatic addition of media data items may be controlled by defining a non-predetermined set of media data items comprising a subset of a media library, such as a combination of filesystem directories or specifically selected metadata tags. The playback queue may be configured to maintain a minimum number of queued media data items, to provide a mechanism of anticipating upcoming media data items intended for playback, and to allow for pre-emptive modification of the playback queue sequence by editing the anticipated playback queue. Th invention provides a controllable method of random shuffled automatic media library playback by providing a novel opportunity to remove undesired items from the playback queue.
