Abstract
A media player includes a memory, a classification component, a content allocation component, a content acquiring component, and a content playing component. The memory stores history information having content information of a plurality of contents that were played on the media player. The classification component groups the content information of the history information into a plurality of content groups, and generates a classification list including information of the content groups. The content allocation component allocates a plurality of contents stored in a media server to the content groups, and generates a content allocation list indicating relationships between the contents stored in the media server and the content groups. The content acquiring component acquires one of the contents selected based on a user list including the classification list and the content allocation list. The content playing component plays the one of the contents.
