Claims14
A method for displaying a description of a first content management directive on a media player which is a data type-specific device incapable of rendering a first data type, the method comprising:
- associating the description of the first content management directive with a first rating;
- storing the description of the first content management directive on the media player;
- storing a first media file on the media player, said first media file comprising first synthesized content, wherein the first synthesized content is synthesized from the first data type, wherein the synthesizing of the first synthesized content is performed by a management server configured to communicate with said media player, and the synthesizing comprises extracting text from the first data type and inserting said text into a header field of an MP3 file, said media player not being capable of synthesizing the first synthesize content;
- receiving entry of said first rating for the first media file from a user;
- and
- displaying the description of the first content management directive on a display screen of the media player in response to detecting the entry of said first rating from the user.
A software product for displaying a description of a first content management directive on a media player which is a data type-specific device incapable of rendering a first data type, the software product comprising a non-transitory machine readable medium on which is stored a program of instructions, wherein the program of instructions upon being executed on the media player causes the media player to perform activities comprising:
- associating the description of the first content management directive with a first rating;
- storing the description of the first content management directive on the media player;
- storing a first media file on the media player, said first media file comprising first synthesized content, wherein the first synthesized content is synthesized from the first data type, wherein the synthesizing of the first synthesized content is performed by a management server configured to communicate with said media player, and the synthesizing comprises extracting text from the first data type and inserting said text into a header field of an MP3 file, said media player not being capable of synthesizing the first synthesize content;
- receiving entry of said first rating for the first media file from a user;
- and
- displaying the description of the first content management directive on a display screen of the media player in response to detecting the entry of said first rating from the user.
