Abstract: Methods and systems for presenting multiple images of entities associated with media items in a media list are provided. A method may include identifying a first entity associated with a first media item in a media list. The first media item may be associated with a first time period. A second entity associated with a second media item may be identified in the media list. The second media item may be associated with a second time period. Next, from a database of entity images, a first image of the first entity may be selected based on the first time period and a second image of the second entity may be selected based on the second time period. As a result, the first image and the second image may be presented in an interface during activation of the media list.

Abstract: A method for uploading content to a server may include associating an identifier and a trigger with a digital audio item uploaded to the server for inclusion into a digital multimedia store managed by the server. The identifier may identify the digital audio item from a plurality of other audio items available at the digital multimedia store. If the trigger is active, a first user interface may be displayed in the digital multimedia store. The first user interface may be associated with the uploaded digital audio item and may provide code for executing an embedding functionality. Upon execution, the embedding functionality may allow for automatic inclusion of the digital audio item into an individual media profile of a user. The media profile may be managed by the server and may be associated with the digital multimedia store.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving, from a user, an intent to share a music track defined within a music consumption system. A query that identifies the music track is generated on a computing device. The query is provided to a video distribution system, wherein the video distribution system is configured to receive and process the query. A result set is received from the video distribution system. If the result set defines one of more videos, available via the video distribution system, that are related to the music track that the user intends to share, a post from the user is generated, on a social networking site, that includes at least one link locating at least one video selected from the one or more videos defined within the result set.
