This invention relates to devices for and methods of managing a play- list (100) comprising at least one digital content item (110), where the digital content items (110) belonging to the play- list (100) is associated with at least one feature parameter (130), which has been derived based on the actual digital content item (110) to which it is associated, where the rendering availability of a given digital content item (110) is checked before the given digital content item (110) is rendered, and if the check results in that the given digital content item (110) is unavailable then obtaining the feature parameter(s) (130) of the unavailable digital content item (110') and determining a replacement digital content item (111) by comparing feature parameter(s) (130) of other content items (110, 111) with the feature parameter(s) (130) of the unavailable content item (110'). In this way, a simple, reliable and efficient way of managing a play-list is obtained. Further, a user will be presented without any detractions of user experience since the play-list does not skip rendering the unavailable content item(s). Furthermore, the user is also presented with a replacement content item that to a high degree should be very similar (at least as best as possible) to the unavailable content item, especially when the feature parameter(s) are carefully selected or derived. The replacement content item (111) may both be a different content item or it may be the same content item as the unavailable one but stored in a different location. |
