METHOD OF USING MUSIC METADATA TO SAVE MUSIC LISTENING PREFERENCES

摘要

To improve the consumer experience with electronic devices (10), an improved system and method is provided for selecting and applying optimal settings for listening to digital music. In exemplary embodiments, optimal equalizer (64) settings for a given song or music category may be stored in the metadata (24) of the music file (20). When the song is played, the optimal equalizer settings are extracted from the music metadata (24). The equalizer (64) of the electronic device (10) then may adjust automatically to the optimal settings as extracted from the metadata (24). The optimal settings may be defined by a content provider or selected by a user as a series of personal preferences.
