Systems and methods for coordinated playback of analog and digital media content
Turntable control systems are disclosed. A playback device can include an analog audio source component such as a turntable. The playback device is configured to cause playback of first audio based on analog audio signals generated by the analog audio source component. Based on an indication that analog audio signals are no longer being generated, the playback device requests, via a network interface, audio content from one or more remote computing devices. The request can include identifying related content based on the first audio. The playback device receives, via the network interface, second audio content from, and causes playback of second audio based on the second audio content.
1. A playback device comprising:
a network interface;
one or more processors; and
data storage having instructions therein that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the playback device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via an analog media source, audio data corresponding to analog audio signals;
causing playback of first audio based on the received audio data;
determining a trigger condition associated with analog audio signals no longer being received;
after determining the trigger condition, obtaining, synthetic novel audio content that is based at least in part on the analog audio signals; and
causing playback of second audio based on the synthetic novel audio content.
2. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via the network interface and to one or more remote computing devices, data indicative of the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
3. The playback device of claim 2 , wherein the data indicative of the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
4. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via the network interface and to one or more remote computing devices, metadata associated with the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
5. The playback device of claim 4 , wherein the metadata comprises an identification of an artist, track, or album of the analog audio signals.
6. The playback device of claim 4 , wherein the metadata associated with the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
7. The playback device of claim 1 , wherein a generative media content engine is stored locally in the data storage, and wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises locally producing the synthetic novel audio content via the generative media content engine.
8. A method performed by a playback device, the method comprising:
receiving, via an analog media source, audio data corresponding to analog audio signals causing playback of first audio based on the received audio data;
determining a trigger condition associated with analog audio signals no longer being received;
after determining the trigger condition, obtaining, via synthetic novel audio content that is based at least in part on the analog audio signals; and
causing playback of second audio based on the synthetic novel audio content.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via a network interface of the playback device and to one or more remote computing devices, data indicative of the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the data indicative of the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via a network interface of the playback device and to one or more remote computing devices, metadata associated with the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the metadata comprises an identification of an artist, track, or album of the analog audio signals.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the metadata associated with the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein a generative media content engine is stored locally on the playback device, and wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises locally producing the synthetic novel audio content via the generative media content engine.
15. One or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a playback device, cause the playback device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, via an analog media source, audio data corresponding to analog audio signals;
causing playback of first audio based on the received audio data;
determining a trigger condition associated with analog audio signals no longer being received;
after determining the trigger condition, obtaining synthetic novel audio content that is based at least in part on the analog audio signals; and
causing playback of second audio based on the synthetic novel audio content.
16. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via a network interface of the playback device and to one or more remote computing devices, data indicative of the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
17. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 16 , wherein the data indicative of the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
18. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises:
transmitting, via a network interface of the playback device and to one or more remote computing devices, metadata associated with the analog audio signals, wherein the one or more remote computing devices store a generative media content engine; and
receiving, via the network interface and from the one or more remote computing devices, the synthetic novel audio content.
19. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 18 , wherein the metadata associated with the analog audio signals is an input to the generative media content engine for production of the synthetic novel audio content.
20. The one or more computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein a generative media content engine is stored locally on the playback device, and wherein obtaining the synthetic novel audio content comprises locally producing the synthetic novel audio content via the generative media content engine.
