Abstract
A list of media, such as image media, is dynamically generated and provided to a user. The dynamically generated media playlist may be associated with a user's 'favorite pictures,' 'favorite music' or some other type of media. Each of the “favorite media” features may be associated with playlist criteria, which is used to dynamically construct a query for media files to include on the playlist. The criteria may specify several requirements for including media in the dynamically created playlist, for example user rating, recently added media, and other criteria. The query is sent to a database, which returns a playlist of media. The returned playlist is provided to a media center, which retrieves and provides the listed media to a user.
