Abstract
Example embodiments relate to a method for providing media content to a user over a digital network, which media content may be provided by a media content server, organized and selected by an intermediate node in accordance to previously stored user preferences, and delivered to a client operated by the user. The method may define a personalized media package structure, communicate a first package having the personalized media package structure to the client, receive status information from the client, the status information describing a user action, adapt the personalized media package structure in response to the user action, and communicate a second package having the adapted personalized media package structure to the client. With such arrangement, the user may experience a highly personalized media playback, with a minimum of cost related to network transmission. Moreover, by the implementation of the status information communication to the personalization server, the media package structure may be continually updated in accordance with the user's consumer pattern.
