Abstract:
1. A method implemented in a computing device for providing access to media content, comprising: providing, with the computing device, access to media files and attributes associated with the media files; generating a user interface on a touchscreen display of the computing device, the user interface comprising first selection components and second selection components, the first selection components for surfacing first datatypes corresponding to the media files based on a first of the attributes, the second selection components for surfacing second datatypes corresponding to the media files based on a second of the attributes such that the first selection components are utilized to sort the first datatypes and the second selection components are utilized to sort the second datatypes, wherein generating the user interface comprises: arranging the first selection components and the second selection components with at least a portion of the first selection components and the second selection components being positioned in an overlying relationship; using position information associated with an input event of the first selection components and the second selection components to identify a first location on the user interface, the first location corresponding to a first media file exhibiting the first of the attributes associated with the first selection components and the second of the attributes associated with the second selection components; and retrieving, by the computing device, an input via the user interface to alter the overlying relationship of the first selection components and the second selection components such that the first location corresponds to a media file different than the first media file after the overlying relationship has been altered.
