A method for identifying a subset of a data stored in a memory unit primary set of records and for the visualization of at least part of the subset marked on a display unit

The invention relates to a method for the identification of a subset (8 ') of a data stored in a memory unit basic quantity (8) of data sets and for the visualization of at least part of the subset marked (8) on a display unit (1). It is proposed according to the invention that for the identification of the subset (8) on the display unit (1) at least two graphically defined (G) display areas (20, 21) are formed, of which in a first display area (20) records representing marking objects (8) the basic set are displayed and a second display area (21), the labeled or to be labeled subset (8) of the identification objects (8) is assigned and wherein an identification of a subset (8) by labeling at least one marking object (8) in the first display area (20) , the labeled at least one marking object (8) in the second display area (21) and by then eliminating the marking is carried out movement. This procedure makes a highly intuitive identification of a subset of records from a basic amount is possible. The marking can be particularly used to generate playlists from MP3 files.
