A method, apparatus and system that enables a user to find and act-upon a sound-containing composition, in a group of compositions. One or more sound-segments, which are intended to prompt a user's memory, may be associated with each composition in a group of compositions. A recognition sound-segment may include a portion of its associated composition, which is more recognizable to users than the beginning part of its associated composition. A recognition-segment may contain one or more highly recognizable portion(s) of a composition. When the user is trying to locate or select a particular composition, the recognition-segments are navigated and played-back to the user, based upon a user-device context/mode. When a user recognizes the desired composition from its recognition-segment, the user may initiate a control action to playback; arrange; and/or act-upon, the composition that is associated with the currently playing recognition-segment. |

1. Apparatus to help a user organize a playlist or a sequence compositions or a stream of compositions, comprising:
electronic-display(s) that:
display an ordering of compositions that contain sound component(s); wherein one or more sound-segments are associated with each composition in said ordering; wherein at least one recognition sound-segment is associated with each composition in said ordering; wherein each said recognition sound-segment includes a portion of its associated composition that is more recognizable to users than a beginning part of its associated composition;display an indicator of a current-location that refers to one of said sound-segments in said ordering; and electronic-circuitry and/or processor(s) that:
in response to navigation action(s) by said user, move said indicator to a new current-location on said electronic-display(s), and play the sound-segment at the new current-location; andin response to a command-action by said user, act-upon the composition that is associated with the sound-segment at the new current-location, by doing at least one of: play, add, move, remove, cut, copy, paste, drag, arrange, organize, and re-order. |
