Abstract
A search request is received over the network to play back media that satisfies one or more search criteria. A plurality of media resources are selected by comparing the search criteria to information associated with the media resources. A set of media resources is established based on the plurality of media resources Media resources that include the set of media resources are played back through the network on a network enabled device. In response to termination of playback of a given media resource, playback of another media resource is automatically initiated.
