Abstract: The field of the invention relates to methods, systems and computer program products for navigating digital media content, in particular for navigating digital media content using an interface abstracted from that digital media content instead of, or as a supplement to, traditional user interface controls. There is provided a method for presenting a user interface to an end user to facilitate the searching, browsing and/or navigation of digital media content, the method comprising the steps of: (a) analysing the digital media content to create “hooks” related to the digital media content, or retrieving “hooks” in the digital media content, and (b) replacing or augmenting a graphical or textual representation of the digital media content with the “hooks.

Abstract: The invention enables digital music content to be downloaded to and used on a portable wireless computing device. An application running on the wireless device has been automatically adapted to parameters associated with the wireless device without end-user input (e.g. the application has been configured in dependence on the device OS and firmware, related bugs, screen size, pixel number, security models, connection handling, memory etc. This application enables an end-user to browse and search music content on a remote server using a wireless network; to download music content from that remote server using the wireless network and to playback and manage that downloaded music content. The application also includes a digital rights management system that enables unlimited legal downloads of different music tracks to the device and also enables any of those tracks stored on the device to be played so long as a subscription service has not terminated.
