Electronic Device Driven Selection and Retrieval of Media Files from Media Source

摘要

An electronic device automatically selects a subset of media files to retrieve from a media source based on a list of the media files received from the media source. The list of media files indicates the media files that are stored in the media source and are retrievable by the electronic device. The electronic device includes an algorithm implementing a scheme to automatically select and retrieve the media files based on the list of media files received from the media source. A user of the electronic device is relieved of the task of selecting the media files to be stored on the electronic device because the electronic device automatically selects and retrieves the media files. Further, the media source need not include codes or implementations to select the media files for retrieval by the electronic device because the electronic device is responsible for selecting the media files for retrieval.
