Abstract

Techniques are described for managing various types of content and devices, such as via a GUI of a Content Management ('CM') system executing on a computing device. In some situations, some of the content being managed includes television-related programming content, with the CM system receiving EPG metadata information for the content, and other types of content (e.g., one or more channels of scheduled digital music and/or on-demand digital music, photos and other images, etc.) may similarly be managed in some situations. In some situations, the managing of the content includes manipulating and presenting groups of one or more pieces (or 'items') of content via the GUI, such as by creating and managing playlists of pieces of television-related and other multimedia content. Such playlists may in some situations include a mixture of multiple distinct types of content, and may be used in various ways for content presentation and device control.
