Embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for providing subscriber preferred media. To create a subscription for a category of media content, such as a music subscription, a user may receive in an electronic device media sample portions (such as song sample portions) representative of different genres. The user may play or listen to the media sample portions for a sample time not to exceed the time of the respective media sample portion. For each media sample portion for which the sample time exceeds a benchmark time, the system may set a user preference for the genre of such media sample portion. As part of a subscription, the user then may receive media file offerings (such as song offerings) within the same genre as that of the corresponding preferred media sample portion. A comprehensive subscription service may include subscriptions for a variety of media categories, such as music, movies or other video, news and information, etc. |
