Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of navigation within a collection of sound documents accessible from a receiver furnished with a display device. The method comprises a first step of analysis of the documents so as to determine audio parameters termed <<low level>> specific to each document. Then, graphics identifiers of part at least of the sound documents are positioned within a graphics page, the arrangement of the graphics identifiers being dependent on the previously calculated parameters. Finally, the method comprises a step of automatic navigation by reproducing successively the sound documents according to a determined strategy taking into account the position of the identifiers of the documents in the graphics page. The invention also relates to a device able to execute a software navigation module for the reproduction of the sound documents according to a determined strategy and according to the position of the representations of the documents in a graphics page.
