Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods, systems and computer program products for periodically generating a personalized playlist of media objects based on a most recent taste profile of a user. A first media object is selected from a media content play history of a first user. A first playlist containing the first media object is identified. A second media object that is not in the media content play history is extracted from the first playlist and a second playlist including the second media object is generated.
