A plurality of user-selected annotations are used to define a playlist of media segments corresponding to the annotations. The user-selected annotations and their corresponding media segments are then provided to the user in a seamless manner. A user interface allows the user to alter the playlist and the order of annotations in the playlist. The user interface identifies each annotation by a short subject line.
