A media discovery module (MDM) (1002) is described that facilitates a user's access to desired media items. The MDM (1002) presents a series of arrays of media items to the user. The user's selection within any array governs the composition of media items that are presented in a subsequent array. Different linking criteria can define the relationship among arrays. In one case, the MDM (1002) uses a time-based linking criterion, allowing a user to examine a media item at increasing levels of temporal granularity. In another case, the MDM (1002) uses a subject matter-based criterion, allowing a user to examine one or more media items at increasing levels of detail with respect to a subject matter index. The MDM (1002) can employ various tools to establish the relationship among media items, including image analysis tools (1010), audio analysis tools (1010), metadata analysis tools (1012), and so on. ® KIPO & WIPO 2009
