A user interface comprising:
- a content player window for content being played by a multimedia content player;
- and
- a metainformation display portion that displays tags associated with the content played by the player, the tags being displayed in synchronization with play of the content.
A system comprising:
- a media server receiving a request for content and transmitting the requested content to a device in response;
- a metainformation server receiving a request for metainformation corresponding to the requested content, and in response, said metainformation server accessing a metainformation repository to retrieve metainformation corresponding to the requested content from the metainformation repository, the retrieved metainformation comprising at least one tag identified during a prior playback of the requested content, and transmitting the at least one tag.
A method comprising:
- receiving a request for content and accessing a content repository to retrieve the requested content;
- receiving a request for metainformation corresponding to the requested content, and in response, accessing a metainformation repository to retrieve metainformation corresponding to the requested content from the metainformation repository, the retrieved metainformation comprising at least one tag created during a prior playback of the requested content;
- and
- transmitting the requested content and the at least one tag to a user device in response to the content and metainformation requests.

A method comprising:
- transmitting a request for content;
- transmitting a request for metainformation corresponding to the requested content;
- and
- receiving the requested content and metainformation, the metainformation comprising at least one tag corresponding to the requested content, each tag received being created during a prior playback of the requested content;
- and
- playing the content, displaying a player window, and displaying in a metainformation display portion at least a portion of the received tags in synchronization with the content's play, the metainformation display portion is superimposed over at least a portion of the player window.
