Methods, systems, and products for accessing media

A system, comprising:

• a media management application stored in memory;
• and
• a processor communicating with the memory,
• the processor accessing a hierarchically-arranged album storing a plurality of sub-albums, the sub-albums being represented by a user interface element;
• and
• the processor providing a graphical user interface having a single control, where the single control:
• displays the hierarchical arrangement;
• provides access to any image within a sub-album of the plurality of sub-albums of the hierarchical arrangement;
• provides a scalability feature that enforces a maximum number of images that may be displayed where the scalability feature includes scroll controls that allow for scrolling through the plurality of sub-albums and images within the plurality of sub-albums;
• receives a single input corresponding to a position within the single control, the position within the single control automatically selecting an image within the sub-album of the plurality of sub-albums stored within the hierarchical arrangement, wherein the scalability feature stretches sub-albums of the plurality of sub-albums stored within the hierarchical arrangement thereby increasing a pixel length between each of the sub-albums of the plurality of sub-albums;
• processes a caption for display in the single control, the caption indicating a name of the hierarchically-arranged album, a path of the image, and an annotation of the image within the hierarchically-arranged album;
• and
• displays the image within the hierarchical arrangement, wherein the single input within the single control simultaneously provides navigation of the hierarchical arrangement, selection of the image within the hierarchical arrangement, and display of the image within the hierarchical arrangement.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions for performing the steps:

• accessing a hierarchically-arranged album storing sub-albums, the sub-albums being represented by a user interface element;
• providing a graphical user interface having a single control, where the single control:
• displays the hierarchical arrangement;
• provides access to any image within a sub-album of the plurality of sub-albums of the hierarchical arrangement;
• provides a scalability feature that enforces a maximum number of images that may be displayed where the scalability feature includes scroll controls that allow for scrolling through the plurality of sub-albums and images within the plurality of sub-albums;
• receives a single input corresponding to a position within the single control, the position within the single control automatically selecting an image within the sub-album of the plurality of sub-albums stored within the hierarchical arrangement, wherein the scalability feature stretches sub-albums of the plurality of sub-albums stored within the hierarchical arrangement thereby increasing a pixel length between each of the sub-albums of the plurality of sub-albums;
• processes a caption for display in the single control, the caption indicating a name of the hierarchically-arranged album, a path of the image, and an annotation of the image within the hierarchically-arranged album;
• and
• displays the image within the hierarchical arrangement, wherein the single input within the single control simultaneously provides navigation of the hierarchical arrangement, selection of the image within the hierarchical arrangement, and display of the image within the hierarchical arrangement.
