Abstract

A content server generates media playlists for social events. The content server receives a seed value describing desired characteristics of media to present during a social event, and event parameters describing conditions for selecting media items to generate a media playlist for the social event. The content server selects media items based on the event parameters and the seed value, and uses the selected media items to generate the media playlist for the social event. The media items in the playlist are retrieved from a media database and provided to a media player for presentation at the social event.
