Abstract
A playlist containing a plurality of tracks is filtered to generate a customized subset or window of tracks for playback. The method includes automatically determining user preference data for each of the plurality of tracks based on the user's conduct when each of the plurality is accessed for playback. The tracks in the playlist are reordered after each track is accessed based on the user preference data. A subset of the playlist is selected for playback based on the reordered track arrangement.
