Method and system provided for creating a dynamic playlist including meta-data having potential association with a respective content item configured to be played on a content player, and having dynamic addition of subtraction of playlist items. The system maintains a database of linkages between elements associated with content items as well as weighted linkages between elements and respective properties. The system is a hybrid content based and collaborative filtering system, wherein the insertion of a new item into the database results in the new item sharing preference weights and number of preferences associated with items pre-existing in the database. Thus, an initial input query list of items potentially results in the return of many content, called a "dynamic playlist", has a high correlation with the user's preference or with whatever other basis was used to frame the input list, and individual content items on the dynamic playlist may not have been previously experienced by the user.

The system of claim 3, wherein said counter counts bus latency events relating to latency time of a system bus. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein said counter increments every time when a request for access to said system bus is produced. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein said timer is activated by said request and stops when said request is granted. 7. The system of claim 3, wherein said counter counts interrupt latency events relating to interrupt latency time of a network controller. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said counter increments every time when a request for interrupt of said host is produced. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein said timer is activated by said request and stops when said request is terminated. 10. The system of claim 3, wherein said counter counts receive service events relating to receive service time of a network controller. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein said counter increments every time when a first element of a frame is received by said network controller from said network. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein said timer is activated when said first element of said frame is received from said network, and stops when the frame is completely written to a system memory. 13. The system of claim 3, wherein said counter counts events relating to a time of transferring a frame from a buffer to a system memory. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein said counter increments every time when a first element of a received frame is written to the system memory. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein said timer is activated when said first element of said received frame is written to the system memory, and stops when said received frame is completely written to the system memory. 16. The system of claim 1, further comprising multiple registers accessible by the host for accumulating the network parameters for averaging purposes. 17. The system of claim 16, wherein each of said registers represents a particular network parameter and contains said event counter and said timer. 18. The system of claim 17, wherein said event counter increments upon occurrence of an event relating to the network parameter accumulated by a corresponding register, and is reset when the host reads a count of said event counter. 19. The system of claim 18, wherein said timer is activated by occurrence of the event relating to the network parameter accumulated by the corresponding register, and is reset when the host reads content of said timer. 20. In a data communications system controlled by a host, a method of accumulating data to determine average values of parameters, comprising the steps of: counting number of events relating to the parameters, determining total time during which the events occur, and calculating by the host an average value of the parameters as a ratio of the total time to the number of events. ing quantity (Y) on a second measuring quantity (P) the second measuring quantity (P) is periodically modified with a frequency (f0). The first measuring quantity (Y) changing accordingly is measured. From the obtained measuring signal of the first measuring quantity (Y) the components of the first measuring quantity (Y) are determined with at least a plurality of frequencies. From the components thus determined the first measuring quantity (Y) is reconstructed for at least a plurality of values of the second measuring quantity (P) by signal processing.
