DYNAMIC PLAYOUT OF AUDIBLE PUNCTUATION IN CONNECTION WITH PLAYOUT OF PLAYLIST CONTENT

摘要

Disclosed are methods and systems for dynamically playing audible punctuation in connection with playout of content defined by a playlist. A client receives a playlist defining a sequence of media content items to be played out by the client, the playlist indicating attribute data for each media content item of the sequence. For each of at least one of the media content items of the playlist, the client determines based on the attribute data and perhaps based on user preference data an audible punctuation to play out in connection with playout of that media content item, and the client retrieves and plays out the audible punctuation in connection with playout of that media content item.
