Abstract: A method of providing voice feedback to a listener as part of a user interface of a media playback system may include: storing multiple different voice feedback recordings in at least one computer-readable storage device, where each of the multiple different voice feedback recordings is of a different voice artist; receiving a listener command corresponding to a musical selection; determining an identifying musical characteristic of the musical selection; selecting a first voice feedback recording from the multiple different voice feedback recordings, where the first voice feedback recording corresponds to the identifying musical characteristic; and playing the first voice feedback recording to the listener via the media playback system.

Abstract: At a client computer, a web browser is connected to a local web server. The local web server is coupled with a local utility executing on the client computer that is distinct from the web browser. The web browser sends, to the local web server via a first communications channel, a first open-ended message that does not require a return message. The local web server waits until the local utility determines there is information to be provided to the web browser and sends, via the first communications channel, a first return message responsive to the first open-ended message. The web browser, in response to and upon receiving the first return message responsive, maintains communication with the local web server by sending, using a second communications channel distinct from the first communications channel, a second open-ended message that does not require a return message to the local web server.

Abstract: Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for generating and playing a selectable content depth media program are provided. Media content items are edited to produce selectable depth media segments which are assembled into selectable depth media programs. A media-playback device is configured to navigate and play the selectable depth media program through interaction by a listening user. The user selects the desired content depth for each media segment.

Abstract: A system for supporting a user's repetitive motion activity operates to manage cadence-based playlists identifying one or more media content items having a tempo corresponding to a user's cadence. The cadence-based playlists can be categorized by different tempi or tempo ranges that cover all likely cadences during the user's activities. A media-playback device is provided to acquire a user's cadence and retrieve a cadence-based playlist associated with a tempo or a tempo range corresponding to the cadence.

Abstract: A system for playing media content items operates to provide smooth transitions between the media content items to continuously support a user's repetitive motion activity. The system can generate crossfade data containing information for transitions between media content items. The mix-in and mix-out points for the transitions are calculated to eliminate one or more portions of media content items that have lower musical energy than a majority portion of the items, and to maintain substantially consistent and/or stable musical energy (e.g., audio power or sound power) throughout the media content items including transitions therebetween.

Abstract: An electronic device includes one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs. The one or more programs include instructions for presenting, on a first playback component coupled with the electronic device, a first media content item and receiving an input to preview a second media content item. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is in a first mode of operation, while the first media content item is presented on the first playback component, presenting a preview of the second media content item on a second playback component. The one or more programs include instructions for, in accordance with a determination that the electronic device is not in the first mode of operation: ceasing presentation of the first media content item and presenting the preview of the second media content item.

Abstract: Systems, devices, apparatuses, components, methods, and techniques for repetitive-motion activity enhancement based upon media content selection are provided. An example media-playback device for enhancement of a repetitive-motion activity includes a media-output device that plays media content items, a plurality of media content selection engines, and a repetitive-activity enhancement mode selection engine. The plurality of media content selection engines includes a cadence-based media content selection engine and an enhancement program engine. The cadence-based media content selection engine is configured to select media content items based on a cadence associated with the repetitive-motion activity. The enhancement program engine is configured to select a media content items according to an enhancement program for the repetitive-motion activity. The repetitive-activity enhancement mode selection engine is configured to select a media content selection engine from the plurality of engines and to cause the media-output device to playback media content items selected by the selected engine.

Abstract: In general, this disclosure concerns media streaming. Among other things, the present disclosure presents a first media item for streaming from a computer server system to a media device. The first media item has an audio format. Furthermore, the first media item comprises a number of media segments, wherein each one of the number of media segments is identifiable by a media segment identifier. Still further, one or several of the number of media segments is/are associated with a respective second media item corresponding to a respective media segment identifier. The second media item(s) typically has/have a media format other than audio.

Abstract: A system and methods for acquiring cadence and selecting a song version based on the acquired cadence are disclosed. If the system detects a new cadence, then a new song version that corresponds to the new cadence can be played. The new song version playback can start in a corresponding position as the location of playback in a currently-playing song version. Each related song version shares one or more characteristics, such as melody, but is different in at least one characteristic, such as tempo.
