System and method for combining a song and non-song musical content

摘要

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.

主权项

1. A computer program product for following a first song recording with an advertisement, the computer program product comprising computer executable code stored in a non-transitory memory that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs the steps of:
accessing metadata for a first song recording being rendered on a music playback device; accessing a voice-over content item created for use in an advertisement played following the first song recording, the voice-over content item including a spoken advertisement produced without music; selecting a non-song musical content item for use in the advertisement based on a similarity between the first song recording and the non-song musical content item, the non-song musical content item including accompanying music expressly created for advertisements; combining the voice-over content item and the non-song musical content item into an advertisement for playback after the first song recording; and in response to determining that the first song recording is at or near its end of playback, transitioning to the advertisement.
