#$%^&*AU2010212503B220120906.pdf#####ABSTRACT Methods and arrangements for facilitating generation of media mixes for a program participant based at least in part on media library inventory information provided by a number of program participants. Those individuals that decide to be program participants are interested in organizing, maintaining and playing their music, based at least in part, on data derived from a population of other participants in the program. A program participant must send, and the system, receive, data representative of that program participant's media inventory. The system or program determines a relative similarity of each item from the collection of program participants as compared to each other item and from the similarity information clusters of similar items are identified. The clusters can be used to identify clusters of similar items in an individual program participant's media library and therefrom mixes of similar media items can be created.2/19 FIQ. 2 START RECEIVING USER LIBRARY DATA 202 IDENTIFYING USER DATA 203 CORRELATING USER DATA W/PROGRAM BASED 204 IDENTIFICATION DATA STORING USER DATA IN MASTER PURCHASE MATRIX 205 RUNNING COLLABORATION FILTER ENGINE ON MASTER 206 PURCHASE MATRIX TO GENERATE SIMILARITY DATA STORING SIMILARITY DATA IN MASTER SIMILARITY 207 TABLE
