Abstract

Disclosed are systems, servers and methods for providing a novel framework that enables the unique cataloging and organization of audio files, upon which audio rendering experiences can be created and provided to requesting users, whether the users are individuals or third party partners. The disclosed framework enables audio files to be stripped down, uniquely stored, and then stitched together in a novel manner that previously did not exist within the computing arts. The disclosed systems and methods, therefore, provide a novel platform where audio is not just provided to consumers, but audio experiences are compiled from various types of audio formats and types in a unique, dynamically determined manner for a listening user.

Claims (41)

1. A method comprising:

analyzing, by a computing device, an audio file;

determining, by the computing device, based on the analysis, attributes of the audio file, the attributes comprising information related to features of the audio file;

analyzing, by the computing device, the attributes of the audio file;

determining, by the computing device, based on the analysis of the attributes, mixing information for the audio file, the mixing information identifying a portion of the audio file that is eligible for mixing with another file, the mixing information further identifying an ineligible portion that is ineligible for mixing with another file, the ineligible portion being a part of an audible section of the audio file where overlaying additional audio is not permitted;

generating, by the computing device, instructions for mixing audio data consistent with the mixing information; and

generating, by the computing device, a stream of audio data based on the generated instructions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generated audio data corresponds to at least one of a file and a stream delivered to a network.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the generated instructions are used to generate a stream of audio data which is sequenced to enable hitting the post at the beginning of the ineligible portion.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data mixing includes a sequence determination that is based on a set of formulae, the formulae comprising information for ordering audio data at predetermined times or intervals.

5. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

receiving input parameters from a user, the input parameters corresponding to at least some of the features and characteristics of the audio file.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the stream is a basis for a broadcast station.

7. The method of claim 1 , further including at least one multidimensional database that comprises a plurality of data structures for specific types of the audio features.

8. The method of claim 2 , wherein the stream comprises song content and voice-over content.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio file comprises third party content.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-readable instructions, that when executed by a computing device, perform a method comprising:

analyzing, by the computing device, an audio file;

determining, by the computing device, based on the analysis, attributes of the audio file, the attributes comprising information related to features of the audio file;

analyzing, by the computing device, the attributes of the audio file;

determining, by the computing device, based on the analysis of the attributes, mixing information for the audio file, the mixing information identifying a portion of the audio file that is eligible for mixing with another file, the mixing information further identifying an ineligible portion that is ineligible for mixing with another file, the ineligible portion being a part of an audible section of the audio file where overlaying additional audio is not permitted;

generating, by the computing device, instructions for mixing audio data consistent with the mixing information; and

generating, by the computing device, a stream of audio data based on the generated instructions.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the generated audio data corresponds to at least one of a file and a stream delivered to a network.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the generated instructions are used to generate a stream of audio data which is sequenced to enable hitting the post at the beginning of the ineligible portion.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the audio data mixing includes a sequence determination that is based on a set of formulae, the formulae comprising information for ordering audio data at predetermined times or intervals.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving input parameters from a user, the input parameters corresponding to at least some of the features and characteristics of the audio file.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the stream is a basis for a broadcast station.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , further including at least one multidimensional database that comprises a plurality of data structures for specific types of the audio features.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the stream comprises song content and voice-over content.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the audio file comprises third party content.

19. A device comprising:

a processor configured to:

analyze an audio file;

determine, based on the analysis, attributes of the audio file, the attributes comprising information related to features of the audio file;

analyze the attributes of the audio file;

determine, based on the analysis of the attributes, mixing information identifying a portion of the audio file that is eligible for mixing with another file, the mixing information further identifying an ineligible portion that is ineligible for mixing with another file, the ineligible portion being a part of an audible section of the audio file where overlaying additional audio is not permitted;

generate instructions for mixing audio data consistent with the mixing information; and

generate a stream of audio data based on the generated instructions.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the generated audio data corresponds to at least one of a file and a stream delivered to a network.
