Abstract: This is directed to recommending media items of a user's media library. In particular, this is directed to transferring a portion of the user's media library to an electronic device so that the user may discover the portion of the media library. The library can recommend particular media items to the user using any suitable approach, including for example based on one or more preference profiles. The user can accept or reject recommended media items as they are played back to further adjust the user's preference profile, and to revise the selection of recommended media items stored on the device.

Abstract: This is directed to providing voice audio output to a user of an electronic device. To allow a user to immediately recognize the status of one or more processes or components of the electronic device from voice audio output, independent of the content of the voice audio output, the electronic device can adjust the voice audio output based on the status of the device. For example, the voice audio output can be adjusted to sound more or less tired based on the battery level of the device. As another example, the pitch or speed of voice audio output can change to identify the particular network or type of network to which a device is connected. The change in voice audio output can be correlated to any suitable device status, including for example using a linear or non-linear correlation.
