This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/832,984, filed Apr. 26, 2004 now U.S. Pat. No. 8,161,411, and entitled “GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR BROWSING, SEARCHING AND PRESENTING MEDIA ITEMS”, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, which is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/776,652, filed Feb. 10, 2004 now abandoned, and entitled “GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR BROWSING, SEARCHING AND PRESENTING MEDIA ITEMS”, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein, and which claims the benefit of: (i) U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/465,410, filed Apr. 25, 2003, and entitled “METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE NETWORK-BASED DISTRIBUTION OF MEDIA”, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein; and (ii) U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/534,555, filed Jan. 5, 2004, and entitled “GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR BROWSING, SEARCHING AND PRESENTING MEDIA ITEMS”, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
As a non-transitory computer readable medium including at least computer program code stored thereon for presenting a graphical user interface on a display associated with a computing device, one embodiment can, for example, include at least computer program code for presenting a browse window on the display. The browse window enables a user of the computing device to browse through a plurality of media items, and the browse window can include at least: (i) a first list of first selectable items, with at least one of the first selectable items being capable of being selected by the user; (ii) a second list of second selectable items, with at least one of the second selectable items being capable of being selected by the user, the second selectable items of the second list being dependent on a first selection by the user of at least one of the first selectable items from the first list, and the second list being displayed along with the first list after the user has selected at least one of the first selectable items from the first list; and (iii) a third list of third selectable items, with at least one of the third selectable items being capable of being selected by the user, the third selectable items of the third list being dependent on a second selection by the user of at least one of the second selectable items from the second list, and the third list being displayed along with the first list and the second list after the user has selected at least one of the second selectable items from the second list. The method can also include computer program code for presenting a media item window that includes at least a fourth list of fourth selectable items, with at least one of the fourth selectable items being capable of being selected by the user, the fourth list representing a subset of the plurality of the media items, and the fourth selectable items of the fourth list being dependent on a third selection by the user of at least one of the third selectable items from the third list.
As a method for browsing through a plurality of media items available for purchase from a media store, one embodiment can, for example, include at least: requesting first selectable items for a first list from a remote server via a data network; displaying a browse window with the first list of the first selectable items; receiving a first user selection of one of the first selectable items in the first list; distinctively displaying the one of the first selectable items in the first list that the user has selected; requesting second selectable items for a second list from the remote server via the data network, the second selectable items being dependent on the one of the first selectable items in the first list that the user has selected; displaying the browse window with the first list of the first selectable items and the second list of the second selectable items; receiving a second user selection of one of the second selectable items in the second list; distinctively displaying the one of the second selectable items in the second list that the user has selected; requesting third selectable items for a third list from the remote server via the data network, the third selectable items being dependent on the one of the second selectable items in the second list that the user has selected; and displaying the browse window with the first list of the first selectable items, the second list of the second selectable items, and the third list of the third selectable items. The remote server is associated with the media store so that the first, second and third lists assist a user in browsing through the media items available from the media store.
