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 act-upon a composition containing a sound component, the apparatus comprising:
one or more electronic-circuitry or processor(s) that:
obtain or provide, an ordering of sound-segments; wherein three or more sound-segments are associated with each composition and there are a plurality of compositions;wherein said three or more sound segments associated with each composition include:
a first sound segment which includes a beginning portion of said composition,a second sound segment that is a recognition sound segment; wherein each said recognition segment includes a portion of its associated composition, which is more recognizable to user(s) than a beginning part of its associated composition;a third sound segment which includes an ending portion of said composition;obtain or provide, a current-location in said ordering that refers to one of said sound-segments in said ordering; said one or more electronic-circuitry or processor(s) that:
in response to user navigation action(s): change said current-location in said ordering and initiate a playback of the sound-segment that is associated with said current-location in said ordering; andin response to act-upon action(s) by the user: perform one or more of: play, add, move, remove, cut, copy, paste, arrange, organize, or order, said composition that is associated with the sound-segment at said current-location. |
