Claim:
1. A method, comprising: displaying a media program on a touch-sensitive screen of an electronic device; displaying, on the touch-sensitive screen, a scroll bar and an indicator that is configured to be moved along the scroll bar in a first direction or a second direction, wherein a movement of the indicator in the first direction along the scroll bar causes the media program to be navigated forward in time, and a movement of the indicator in the second direction along the scroll bar causes the media program to be navigated backward in time; detecting a first sliding gesture performed on the touch-sensitive screen, wherein the first sliding gesture is performed with a first non-zero angle with respect to the scroll bar; navigating, in response to the detecting of the first sliding gesture, through the media program in a first time scale having a first amount of time magnification; detecting a second sliding gesture performed on the touch-sensitive screen, wherein the second sliding gesture is performed with a second non-zero angle with respect to the scroll bar, the second non-zero angle being different from the first non-zero angle; and navigating, in response to the detecting of the second sliding gesture, through the media program in a second time scale having a second amount of time magnification that is different from the first amount of time magnification.
