SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CLASSIFYING, COMPARING AND ORDERING SONGS IN A PLAYLIST TO SMOOTH THE OVERALL PLAYBACK AND LISTENING EXPERIENCE

摘要

The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for the comparison between songs to analyse how similar each song is to the next using a new system of classification. A new and improved method and apparatus for the weighting of these comparable variables between songs in order to find the best objective criteria for finding a likeness between songs is disclosed. The time complexity associated with the computation of the optimal path for smoothing a playlist of songs is substantially reduced using the system of classification.
