A method for maintaining a media playlist ( 100 ) and a browsing history list of a media browsing session on a media playback device. The media playlist ( 100 ) includes a reference to at least one media document available for playback on the device, and a playlist pointer ( 112 ) identifying a currently-playing media document in the playlist ( 100 ). The browsing history list includes references to zero or more content documents previously accessed in the media browsing session. Responsive to termination of playback of a first media document and loading for playback of a second media document on the media playback device, the method includes the steps of updating the playlist pointer ( 112 ) to identify the second media document as the currently-playing media document, and updating the browsing history list to include a reference to the first media document as the most recently accessed content document. The method provides a user of a media playback device with access to a playlist, as commonly provided with media players, as well as a history list, as commonly provided with web browsers, which are integrated in a consistent manner to facilitate efficient and intuitive media browsing. A corresponding media playback device and software product are also provided.
