CREATING AND SELECTING MULTIMEDIA OR DIGITAL FILES FROM A VEHICLE PLAYER SYSTEM

摘要

Systems and methods for providing a user-definable multimedia or digital library selecting (204) and playing multimedia or digital files from within the library (212). The selection and playback systems and methods involve a limited number of user activated buttons, which are implemented both for mapping directly to storage locations of particular multimedia or digital files, and for accepting and playing a multimedia or digital file once selected. The limited number of buttons required for the various features of these systems and methods provide vehicle operators, such as automobile drivers, with a safe mechanism and procedure for retrieving and playing customized play lists and particular songs while driving.
