Abstract
A system and method of managing media content is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method includes sending a request for a media content item from a user computer to a server via an interface to an online site. The method also includes receiving the media content item at the user computer. Further, the method includes selecting a library associated with a media content player application and, upon receipt of the media content item, automatically adding the media content item to the selected library of the media content player application at the user computer.
Claims43
A method of managing media content, the method comprising:
- sending a request for a media content item from a user computer to a server via an interface to an online site;
- receiving the media content item at the user computer;
- selecting, by a download management application, a library associated with a media content player application, wherein the download management application and the media content player application are different applications;
- and
- upon receipt of the media content item, automatically adding the media content item to the selected library of the media content player application at the user computer.
A method of managing media content, the method comprising:
- sending a download management application to a user computer for installation, wherein the download management application is adapted to select a content library associated with a media content player application, to download a media content item, and to automatically add the media content item to the selected content library of the media content player application, wherein the media content player application and the download management application are different applications;
- and
- sending a payload file related to the media content item to the user computer, the payload file indicating a media source at which the media content item is accessible to the download management application.
A method of managing media content, the method comprising:
- sending a request for a media content item from a user computer to a server via an online site;
- receiving a payload file related to the media content item at the user computer, wherein the payload file includes a uniform resource locator (URL);
- and launching a download management application after receiving the payload file, wherein the download management application is adapted to select a content library associated with a media content player application, to download the media content item, and to automatically add the media content item to the selected content library of the media content player application, wherein the media content player application and the download management application are different applications.
A system to manage media content, the system comprising:
- a computing device including processing logic and memory accessible to the processing logic, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processing logic to:
- send a request for a media content item to a server via an interface to an online site;
- receive the media content item;
- select, by a download management application, a library associated with a media content player application, wherein the download management application and the media content player application are different applications;
- and upon receipt of the media content item automatically add, by the download management application, the media content item to the selected library of the media content player application.
A system to manage media content, the system comprising:
- a media content server having processing logic and memory, wherein the memory includes instructions executable by the processing logic to:
- receive a request for a media content item from a user computer via an online site;
- selectively send a download management application to the user computer;
- and
- send a payload file related to the requested media content item to the user computer, wherein the download management application is adapted to retrieve the media content item from a network location identified by the payload file, to select a content library associated with a media content player application, and to automatically add the media content item to the selected content library for the media content player application, wherein the media content player application and the download management application are different applications.
A computer-readable medium including processor-readable instructions that are executable by a processor to;
- install a download management application at a user computer, wherein the download management application is configured to download a media content item requested via an online site;
- and
- automatically launch the download management application in response to a selection of the selected media content item at the online site, wherein the download management application is adapted to select a content library associated with a media content player application and add the downloaded media content item to the selected content library of the media content player application, wherein the download management application and the media content player application are different applications.
