Abstract
A method and computer readable medium for exploring similar users and items of a media service includes generating a user interface. The user interface displays a user selectable indicia representing a similar member function for allowing a user to search a media service for at least one other user. The one other user has a degree of similarity with respect to the searching user. Another method includes facilitating the search of such a similar user within a media service.

A method implemented by a device, the method comprising:
- creating, by a media player application installed on the device, a first playlist of media items;
- publishing the first playlist to make the first playlist available to other users;
- displaying a first list of users on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the media player application;
- receiving a first input on the GUI for selecting a first user from the first list of users;
- displaying, in response to the first input, a plurality of media items associated with the first user, wherein the plurality of media items comprises a first media item;
- receiving a second input for adding the first media item to a second playlist associated with a second user of the device;
- adding, in response to the second input, the first media item to the second playlist;
- receiving a third input for selecting a third user as an influencer;
- and
- receiving, in response to the third input, recommended songs with a bias toward songs preferred by the third user.
A device, comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to:
- create, by a media player application installed on the device, a first playlist of media items;
- publish the first playlist to make the first playlist available to other users;
- display a first list of users on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the media player application;
