Apparatus, systems and methods for trick function viewing of media content

1. A method for presentation control of media content, the method comprising:

receiving the media content at a media device, wherein the media content comprises audio content;

presenting a first presentation area, on a display, wherein the first presentation area presents a first image associated with a first song retrieved by a first decoder from at least one storage device;

presenting a plurality of second presentation areas on the display, wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas presents an image associated with other songs available in the audio content;

receiving a user command indicating a selection of a second presentation area of the plurality of second presentation areas, wherein the second presentation area is associated with location information for a second decoder to retrieve a second song identified by the second presentation area from the at least one storage device while the first song is currently playing;

retrieving, by the second decoder, the second song based on the location information from the at least one storage device;

presenting the second song corresponding to a second image presented in the selected second presentation area; and

retrieving, by the first decoder, a third song from the at least one storage device while the second song is currently playing.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas is smaller than the first presentation area and positioned below the first presentation area.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the plurality of second presentation areas corresponds to a currently presented song.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one of the plurality of second presentation areas is highlighted to indicate that it is the currently presented song.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising presenting an arrow indicating the second presentation area that is the currently presented song, and wherein second presentation areas left of the arrow are previous songs and second presentation areas right of the arrow are next songs.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first image associated with the first song is contained in video content.

7. A media device, comprising:

a tuner, wherein the tuner is operable to receive a stream of media content, wherein the media content comprises audio content;

a program buffer,

wherein the program buffer is operable to store the received media content, wherein the program buffer is further operable to stream out the received media content to a media content presentation system, and

wherein the media content presentation system;

a processor system communicatively coupled to the tuner and the program buffer, wherein the processor system is operable to:

present a first presentation area, on a display, wherein the first presentation area presents a first image associated with a first song retrieved by a first decoder from at least one storage device;

present a plurality of second presentation areas on the display, wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas presents an image associated with other songs available in the audio content;

receive a user command indicating a selection of a second presentation area of the plurality of second presentation areas, wherein the second presentation area is associated with location information for a second decoder to retrieve a second song identified by the second presentation area from the at least one storage device while the first song is currently playing;

retrieve, by the second decoder, the second song based on the location information from the at least one storage device; and

present the second song corresponding to a second image presented in the selected second presentation area; and

retrieve, by the first decoder, a third song from the at least one storage device while the second song is currently playing.

8. The media device of claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas is smaller than the first presentation area and positioned below the first presentation area.

9. The media device of claim 7 , wherein one of the plurality of second presentation areas corresponds to a currently presented song.

10. The media device of claim 9 , wherein the one of the plurality of second presentation areas is highlighted to indicate that it is the currently presented song.

11. The media device of claim 10 , wherein the processor system is further operable to present an arrow indicating the second presentation area that is the currently presented song, and wherein second presentation areas left of the arrow are previous songs and second presentation areas right of the arrow are next songs.

12. The media device of claim 7 , wherein the first image associated with the first song is contained in video content.

13. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving media content at a media device, wherein the media content comprises audio content;

presenting a first presentation area, on a display, wherein the first presentation area presents a first image associated with a first song retrieved by a first decoder from at least one storage device;

presenting a plurality of second presentation areas on the display, wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas presents an image associated with other songs available in the audio content;

receiving a user command indicating a selection of a second presentation area of the plurality of second presentation areas, wherein the second presentation area is associated with location information for a second decoder to retrieve a second song identified by the second presentation area from the at least one storage device while the first song is currently playing;

retrieving, by the second decoder, the second song based on the location information from the at least one storage device;

presenting the second song corresponding to a second image presented in the selected second presentation area; and

retrieving, by the first decoder, a third song from the at least one storage device while the second song is currently playing.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein each of the plurality of second presentation areas is smaller than the first presentation area and positioned below the first presentation area.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein one of the plurality of second presentation areas corresponds to a currently presented song.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the one of the plurality of second presentation areas is highlighted to indicate that it is the currently presented song.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 16 , further comprising presenting an arrow indicating the second presentation area that is the currently presented song, and wherein second presentation areas left of the arrow are previous songs and second presentation areas right of the arrow are next songs.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 13 , wherein the first image associated with the first song is contained in video content.
