Abstract

A media player, such as a DAB digital radio, includes a screen on which icons associated with each different digital radio service can be shown. The icons are automatically arranged according to content type in a two dimensional arrangement or cluster. Digital radio services covering (a) News, (b) Chart Music, (c) Pop Music, (d) Classical Music, (e) Jazz music, (f) Drama and (g) Sport will each have their own cluster. All sources of a given content type can therefore be quickly seen. For example, all jazz digital radio services can be quickly seen as they are grouped or clustered together in the 2-D arrangement; and all news digital radio services will be grouped together in a different cluster.
