A method comprising:
- at an electronic device with a touch screen:
- while playing a media file on the electronic device, receiving a first user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- displaying a first media interface on the touch screen as an overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the first user input, the first media interface including information associated with the media file and first playback controls;
- while playing the media file on the electronic device, receiving a second user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- and
- displaying a second media interface on the touch screen as the overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the second user input, the second media interface different from the first media interface, the second media interface including the first playback controls, and the second media interface having a different number of user interface elements than a number of user interface elements in the first media interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device having a touch screen, the instructions including instructions for:
- while playing a media file on the electronic device, receiving a first user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- displaying a first media interface on the touch screen as an overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the first user input, the first media interface including information associated with the media file and first playback controls;
- while playing the media file on the electronic device, receiving a second user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- and
- displaying a second media interface on the touch screen as the overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the second user input, the second media interface different from the first media interface, the second media interface including the first playback controls, and the second media interface having a different number of user interface elements than a number of user interface elements in the first media interface.
An electronic device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a touch screen;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the instructions including instructions for:
- while playing a media file on the electronic device, receiving a first user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- displaying a first media interface on the touch screen as an overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the first user input, the first media interface including information associated with the media file and first playback controls;
- while playing the media file on the electronic device, receiving a second user input requesting that a media interface be displayed on the touch screen;
- and
- displaying a second media interface on the touch screen as the overlay on the touch screen in accordance with the second user input, the second media interface different from the first media interface, the second media interface including the first playback controls, and the second media interface having a different number of user interface elements than a number of user interface elements in the first media interface.
