The method of claim 1, wherein the soft button comprises a textual display of the name in a selectable location on the associated display, wherein the name is selected from a group consisting of a user customized name, a playlist name, a title, and an artist name. 8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving the signal to begin playing in response to a soft button selection made via a user interaction with an input device of the different electronic device, wherein the input device is selected from a group consisting of a touch screen, a mouse, a keyboard, a toggle disk, a knob, and an actual physical button. 9. A media playing method comprising: receiving an over the air download of a media file at a portable electronic device that has a display, a memory, and a processor; receiving a collection of information associated with the media file via the over the air download, the collection of information representing a name associated with the media file; saving the media file in the memory; maintaining an association between the media file and the name at the portable electronic device; communicating information that represents at least the name from the portable electronic device to a different electronic device such that a user may view a soft button comprising the name depicted on a different display that is associated with the different electronic device; and thereafter initiating a playing of the media file at the portable electronic device responsive to a selection of the soft button at the different electronic device, and outputting a played version of the media file via the different electronic device while the media file remains stored at the portable electronic device. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the media file is an audio file. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the media file is a voicemail message and the name identifies a sender of the voicemail message. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the portable electronic device is operable as a wireless telephone and at least some of the information communicated from the portable electronic device is to enable the soft button to be a selectable GUI element that comprises a textual representation of the name and acts as a selectable link for launching the playing of the media file at the portable electronic device, the soft button generally simulating a user selectable functional button for selection of the media file and including the textual representation. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the display of the portable electronic device is a touch screen display. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising initiating a different playing of the media file in connection with a selection of a representation of the name while it is being presented on the display of the portable electronic device. 15. The method of claim 9, wherein the media file comprises a video file. 16. A media playing method comprising: recognizing that a portable electronic device is coupled to a sound system that has an associated display and a user interface mechanism, wherein the portable electronic device is a hand-held device having a display, a memory, and a processor, and that is not a conventional personal computer or laptop computer, further wherein the portable electronic device is configured to save a media file in the memory of the portable electronic device, to associate the media file with a name, to store additional data that represents the name, to include the name in a menu of available content, to present the name on the display of the portable electronic device as a selectable icon, and to communicate a collection of information representing the name to the sound system; receiving the collection of information in the sound system; utilizing the collection of information to present a soft button on the associated display; recognizing an interaction with the user interface mechanism as a selection of the soft button; and requesting a playing of the media file by the portable electronic device in connection with the selection of the soft button so that the playing of the media file can be output via the sound system while the media file remains stored on the portable electronic device, wherein the receiving and requesting involve communicating across a physical interface that has multiple conductive elements and a contacting portion for the multiple conductive elements that is non-circular and configured to releasably couple with the portable electronic device. 17.
