Abstract: A method and computer program product for defining an active playlist of media tracks for rendering in a defined sequence. A portion of the media tracks defined in the active playlist are rendered. A shuffle command is received from a user concerning the active playlist. A non-rendered playlist is generated. The non-rendered playlist defines one or more non-rendered media tracks included within the active playlist and excludes one or more rendered media track included within the active playlist. A rendering sequence is defined for the non-rendered playlist.
