Abstract
A method and system that organize and retrieve multimedia objects. A controller may select an identifier associated with a media object to send a request to play the media object. The controller may send the request by transmitting the identifier stored in the controller. An appliance receives the request from the controller. The appliance retrieves the media object from a first server via a network connection when the media object is not stored in the appliance. Then the appliance may play the media object.
