Abstract: A method, computer program product, and media player for creating a playlist from a database of output files. The method involves obtaining a database containing at least two fields corresponding to descriptors of the output files. The basic embodiment assigns a rating descriptor, corresponding to the aesthetic quality of an output file to the user, to one of the database fields and assigns a time descriptor, which records the time of a file's most recent execution, download, modification, or other relevant time based value, in another of the database fields. The output files are then organized into the playlist based upon the output file's rating descriptor, time descriptor, or both.

Abstract: A concept is presented whereby a normal telephone set can be interconnected to a security system to function in an alternate mode of either a telephone set or a security panel whereby the security system can be accessed for both display purposes and for altering security system settings. This is accomplished by changing the data from the telephone to an ISBM format so that there is adequate bandwidth to transmit not only voice but any of various keyed data information to the control panel whereby the various required or requested actions are detected in the control panel and acted upon appropriately.
