  • Storage, retrieval, and display of contextual art with digital media files
    Publication number: 20030182139
    Abstract: Methods and system for processing media content. A client computer stores a media file and sends an identifier of the media file to a server via a data communication network. In response to the identifier, the server retrieves metadata corresponding to the media file from a central database. The client computer executes a media player program adapted to render the media file and display the metadata, which includes an image file related to the content of the media file. The client computer can also display a thumbnail-sized representation of the image file in its shell to graphically represent the directory in which the media file is located.
