The present disclosure provides techniques for creating a filter for a set of content items based on a common attribute identified in the set of content items and a user history. A method may include obtaining a plurality of content item identifiers. One or more common attributes associated with each of a plurality of content items may be identified and each of the plurality of content items may be identified by one of the plurality of content item identifiers. A first filter may be created based on a first attribute from among the one or more common attributes and a user history. Next, a first user interface may be displayed comprising the first filter and the plurality of content item identifiers. The first filter may be displayed among the plurality of content item identifiers and may have the same visual format as one of the content item identifiers.

Dynamic and personalized filtering of media content

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for user interaction with machine translation. A user interface for receiving requests to translate text and/or documents from a first language text to a second language text. The translated text and/or document is displayed such that the first language text corresponding to a selected portion of the second language text can be accessed and displayed in the same user interface.

Displaying original text in a user interface with translated text

The disclosed subject matter provides methods and systems for presenting previously selected search results to a user. A first previously selected search result may be obtained from a first search provider. The first previously selected search result may be a first result, selected by a user, of a first prior search query executed by the first search provider. A second previously selected search result may be obtained from a second search provider, and the second previously selected search result may be a second result, selected by the user, of a second prior search query executed by the second search provider. Next, the first and second previously selected search results may be presented in an interface associated with a third search provider.

Presenting previously selected search results

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for establishing preferences for sites that are explicitly identified by a user by either a textual input or an acceptance in response to a recommendation, and adjusting the presentation of search results based on these preferences.

Preferred sites

Methods and systems for presenting multiple images of entities associated with media items in a media list are provided. A method may include identifying a first entity associated with a first media item in a media list. The first media item may be associated with a first time period. A second entity associated with a second media item may be identified in the media list. The second media item may be associated with a second time period. Next, from a database of entity images, a first image of the first entity may be selected based on the first time period and a second image of the second entity may be selected based on the second time period. As a result, the first image and the second image may be presented in an interface during activation of the media list.

Presenting images of multiple media entities

Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide techniques for operating a media application in an incognito mode. A method may include operating a media application in a first mode and providing a first indication of a first user action in the media application to a media application provider. Next, an instruction may be received to operate the media application in a second mode. A second indication of a second user action may be received in the media application and the second user action may be performed. Then, the second indication of the second user action may be discarded without providing the second indication of the second user action to the media application provider.

Incognito mode in a media application

Content stored on a server may be selected using a user device and enabled on a central device. The identity of the central device may be authenticated without transmitting user credentials corresponding to the user, user device, user account, etc. A central device identifier can be sent to the server via the user device. An encrypted version of the central device identifier may be returned to the user device and to the central device. The central device can send the encrypted and unencrypted version of the identifier to the server, and the server can transmit the desired content to the remote device based on a comparison of the encrypted and unencrypted identifier.

Automated accounts for media playback

A method for surfacing auto-generated facts about an online music library is provided, including: receiving from a client device a request to access an online music library associated with a user, the online music library including a plurality of audio files, each of the plurality of audio files including audio data and metadata associated with the audio data; applying a fact template to the metadata to generate a result, the fact template defining an analysis to be performed on the metadata, the fact template defining a threshold requirement for performance of the analysis defined by the fact template; transmitting to the client device a music application code configured to be executed by a browser application on the client device, the music application code including posting logic configured to display the result of the analysis performed according to the fact template in said browser application on the client device.

Displaying auto-generated facts about a music library

A method for uploading content to a server may include associating an identifier and a trigger with a digital audio item uploaded to the server for inclusion into a digital multimedia store managed by the server. The identifier may identify the digital audio item from a plurality of other audio items available at the digital multimedia store. If the trigger is active, a first user interface may be displayed in the digital multimedia store. The first user interface may be associated with the uploaded digital audio item and may provide code for executing an embedding functionality. Upon execution, the embedding functionality may allow for automatic inclusion of the digital audio item into an individual media profile of a user. The media profile may be managed by the server and may be associated with the digital multimedia store.

Adding media to a locker

In general, a method performed on one or more computing systems includes receiving an indication that a control that affects an application has been activated, identifying, by the one or more computing systems in response to the indication, one or more active modes of the application that are not influenced by the control, and providing, on a display in response to identifying the one or more active modes, a graphical representation of the one or more active modes.

Mode notifications

A computer-implemented method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving, from a user, an intent to share a music track defined within a music consumption system. A query that identifies the music track is generated on a computing device. The query is provided to a video distribution system, wherein the video distribution system is configured to receive and process the query. A result set is received from the video distribution system. If the result set defines one of more videos, available via the video distribution system, that are related to the music track that the user intends to share, a post from the user is generated, on a social networking site, that includes at least one link locating at least one video selected from the one or more videos defined within the result set.
