Abstract:
A method for surfacing auto-generated facts about an online music library is provided, including: receiving from a client device a request to access an online music library associated with a user, the online music library including a plurality of audio files, each of the plurality of audio files including audio data and metadata associated with the audio data; applying a fact template to the metadata to generate a result, the fact template defining an analysis to be performed on the metadata, the fact template defining a threshold requirement for performance of the analysis defined by the fact template; transmitting to the client device a music application code configured to be executed by a browser application on the client device, the music application code including posting logic configured to display the result of the analysis performed according to the fact template in said browser application on the client device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for presenting multiple images of entities associated with media items in a media list are provided. A method may include identifying a first entity associated with a first media item in a media list. The first media item may be associated with a first time period. A second entity associated with a second media item may be identified in the media list. The second media item may be associated with a second time period. Next, from a database of entity images, a first image of the first entity may be selected based on the first time period and a second image of the second entity may be selected based on the second time period. As a result, the first image and the second image may be presented in an interface during activation of the media list.
Abstract:
A method for uploading content to a server may include associating an identifier and a trigger with a digital audio item uploaded to the server for inclusion into a digital multimedia store managed by the server. The identifier may identify the digital audio item from a plurality of other audio items available at the digital multimedia store. If the trigger is active, a first user interface may be displayed in the digital multimedia store. The first user interface may be associated with the uploaded digital audio item and may provide code for executing an embedding functionality. Upon execution, the embedding functionality may allow for automatic inclusion of the digital audio item into an individual media profile of a user. The media profile may be managed by the server and may be associated with the digital multimedia store.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of the disclosed subject matter provide predicting, by an electronic device, a future event at which media is to be played, predicting, by the electronic device according to data stored in a storage device, whether a communications network connection will be available at one or more locations of the predicted future event, generating, by the electronic device, a playlist of a plurality of media according to the predicted future event; and when it is predicted that the communications network connection will be unavailable or intermittent at the one or more locations, downloading, by the electronic device from a server while the communications network connection is available, at least one of the plurality of media from the generated playlist and storing the downloaded media on the storage device of the electronic device.
Abstract:
Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provide techniques for operating a media application in an incognito mode. A method may include operating a media application in a first mode and providing a first indication of a first user action in the media application to a media application provider. Next, an instruction may be received to operate the media application in a second mode. A second indication of a second user action may be received in the media application and the second user action may be performed. Then, the second indication of the second user action may be discarded without providing the second indication of the second user action to the media application provider.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for automatically downloading and storing media on a mobile device are provided. A method at a mobile device includes an auto-storing process, which includes receiving, at a first time within a predefined time range, a first set of media items. The first set of media items may be based on a user media preference. Next, at a second time within the predefined time range, it may be determined that at least a portion of the first set of media items has been activated. Based on the activated media items, at least one user media activation characteristic may be determined. In response to determining that at least a portion of the first set of media items has been activated, a second set of media items based on the user media activation characteristic may be received.

Abstract:
A method, which is executed by a processor, includes receiving a request to access music from a user account. The music is to be streamed to a device from which the user account has generated the request. The method further includes streaming music to the device for rendering, and automatically inserting descriptive voice-audio data into the stream for rendering. The descriptive voice-audio data includes information regarding the music, for example, the artist name and song title.

Abstract:
Content stored on a server may be selected using a user device and enabled on a central device. The identity of the central device may be authenticated without transmitting user credentials corresponding to the user, user device, user account, etc. A central device identifier can be sent to the server via the user device. An encrypted version of the central device identifier may be returned to the user device and to the central device. The central device can send the encrypted and unencrypted version of the identifier to the server, and the server can transmit the desired content to the remote device based on a comparison of the encrypted and unencrypted identifier.
