Claims22
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:
- receive a media content item from a server via an interface to an online site;
- select, by a download management application, a playlist associated with a media content player application, wherein the download management application and the media content player application are different applications;
- and
- on receipt of the media content item, automatically add, by the download management application, the media content item to the selected playlist 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:
- selectively send a download management application to a user computer in response to a request to receive a media content item;
- 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 playlist associated with a media content player application, and to automatically add the media content item to the selected playlist for the media content player application, wherein the media content player application and the download management application are different applications.
A method of managing media content, the method comprising:
- receiving a payload file related to a media content item at a user computer;
- and
- launching a download management application after receiving the payload file, wherein the download management application is adapted to select a playlist associated with a media content player application, to download the media content item, and to automatically add the media content item to the selected playlist of 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 playlist associated with a media content player application and add the downloaded media content item to the selected playlist of the media content player application, wherein the download management application and the media content player application are different applications.
