Abstract: Today users are accustomed to “judging” items of media content from short abstract samples offered by service providers, media retailers/distributors, etc. and purchasing discrete portions, e.g. a track, rather than the entire work, e.g. an album, for example. Users are influenced by short content segments and use media players that support jumping between media content items whilst rendering an item. It would be beneficial to provide users with a means to associate tags for content portions they like etc. and subsequently play only these portions or the full item of content as well as filter content based upon other user's tags or tags acquired from family, friends, social media, crowdsourcing etc.
