Using a music oriented Web site, a "student" user requests a tutorial or tour of a musical artist or genre on the World Wide Web portion of the Internet. The "expert" user peruses the "student" personal music library and creates a playlist for that library to assist in further understanding of the music by the "student" user. The playlist is transferred to a server which generates a command file. This command file is sent to the "student" user to control various multimedia components according to the "expert" user's selection. This tutorial may be accompanied by the "expert" user's personal commentary on his/her selections.
