Claim:
A method of navigating a set of media items comprising: selecting a first item from the set of media items; forming a first list of the media item by ordering the set of media items according to at least one criterion indicative of similarity of the media items to the first media item so that a next item from a current item is more similar to the current item than further next items of the first list; presenting the first media item and waiting for a user input during presentation of the first media item; upon receiving the user input, determining what amount of the first media item was presented before the input was received; forming a second list of the media item from the first list using the determined amount of the first media item presented before the input was received; and selecting from the second list a second media item for the presenting, wherein the act of forming the second list skips items from the first list closest to the current item, and wherein a number of the skipped items is proportional to the amount of the first media item presented before the input was received so that more media items of the first list are skipped when the determined amount of the first media item is large and less media items of the first list are skipped when the determined amount of the first media item is small.
