Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and media for filtering a data stream are provided. The data stream is analyzed based on an acoustic parameter to determine extraneous portions in which a first predetermined condition is satisfied. When a first extraneous portion is separated from a second extraneous portion by a non-extraneous portion in which the first predetermined condition is not satisfied, it is determined whether the first extraneous portion being separated from the second extraneous portion by the non-extraneous portion satisfies a second predetermined condition. At least one of the first extraneous portion and the second extraneous portion is deleted from the data stream to produce a filtered data stream in response to determining the second predetermined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for adaptive media playback based on destination. The method for adaptive media playback comprises determining one or more destinations, collecting media content that is relevant to or describes the one or more destinations, assembling the media content into a program, and outputting the program. In various embodiments, media content may be advertising, consumer-generated, based on real-time events, based on a schedule, or assembled to fit within an estimated available time. Media content may be assembled using an adaptation engine that selects a plurality of media segments that fit in the estimated available time, orders the plurality of media segments, alters at least one of the plurality of media segments to fit the estimated available time, if necessary, and creates a playlist of selected media content containing the plurality of media segments.
