Abstract: There is disclosed a method in which a request for transmitting content relating to a collaborated content to a first device is receive. The collaborated content comprises one or more media clips of an event attached with information on a context regarding capturing of the media clips. Further,information on the context of the first device is obtained and a viewpoint of the first device is determined on the basis of the context of the first device and the context regarding capturing of the media clips. An event composition is generated from the one or more media clips of the collaborated content representing the determined viewpoint. There is also disclosed a method in which a request for content relating to the collaborated content to a device is transmitted by the device. Information on the context of the device is transmitted for determination of the viewpoint. The generated event composition is received by the device. There are also disclosed apparatuses and computer programs for implementing the methods.

Abstract: A method for creating and managing ad-hoc context constrained music channels is described. The method includes, in response to a request to initiate a music channel, determining whether music content available for the music channel is relevant and/or sufficient. At least one piece of the music content available is stored in a memory controlled by a user of the music channel. The method also includes, in response to determining that music content available is relevant and/or sufficient, creating the music channel. Apparatus and computer readable media are also described.

Abstract: There is provided methods, apparatuses and computer program products for delivering contents from a source device to a multiple of destination devices. In an apparatus in a source device an indication of a content selected for delivery to destination devices is received and at least one delivery condition to be used to control the delivery of the selected content to the destination devices is defined. A notification regarding the selected content is formed and information on the at least one delivery condition is included in the notification. The notification is transmitted. The at least one delivery condition includes at least one of a location condition and a time condition. In an apparatus in a destination device an indication of a content selected for delivery from a source device to the apparatus is received and information of at least one delivery condition to control the delivery of the selected content to the apparatus is obtained from the notification.
