Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for sharing digital media content and creating and sharing digital media content lists that in some embodiments may take the form of device independent playlists. The methods and systems can determine if a user can access content referenced by the playlists and if not, enable the user to gain legal access to the content. In some embodiments, systems and methods for accessing digital content include receiving a request to search a database comprising digital content lists based at least in part on parameters received from a user. A digital content list including at least one reference to digital content is returned in response to the request. It is determined if any of the digital content referred to by the at least one reference to digital content is playable by the user. In other embodiments, systems and methods can find users with similar digital content.
