Many media players allow users to create static and dynamic playlists. These are essentially saved search and sort criteria.

Web applications are emerging that allow users to upload all the metadata from their media collections and aggregate with the metadata from other users to create media communities. See:

As well sites like IT Conversations have rating UI’s that allow the community to rate various podcasts. These ratings are then aggregated.
