20140121797 | System and Method for Combining a Song and Non-Song Musical Content - A system with a decision engine having logic for using metadata for one or more song recordings and one or more non-song musical content items. The logic performs the steps of: interpreting the metadata for the first song recording; identifying a first non-song musical content item for playback at or near an end of the first song recording based on a similarity between the first song recording and the first non-song musical content item; and, in response to determining that the first song recording is at or near its end of playback, forming an altered playback of the first non-song musical content item by performing via real time digital audio signal processing an alteration of the first non-song musical content item to be rhythmically continuous in terms of tempo to the first song recording and/or harmonically continuous in terms of key and/or mode to the first song recording. | 05-01-2014 |
