Abstract: A computing device can periodically acquire a current track time for a media content item being played. The device can periodically compare the current track time with a respective start time and a respective end time for each line (or segment) in a plurality of lines of text (or segments of text) associated with the media content item. If the device determines that the current track time is between start and end times for a given line of text, then the device can display the given line of text. A user of the device can scroll through the lines of text associated with the media content item. If the user selects a particular line of text, the device can identify a start time for the selected line of text. The device can then play the media content item at the identified start time of the selected line of text.

Abstract translation: 计算设备可以周期性地获取正在播放的媒体内容项目的当前轨道时间。 设备可以周期性地将当前轨道时间与与媒体内容项相关联的多行文本（或文本段）中的每行（或段）的相应开始时间和相应的结束时间进行比较。 如果设备确定当前轨道时间在给定行文本的开始和结束时间之间，则设备可以显示给定的文本行。 设备的用户可以滚动通过与媒体内容项相关联的文本行。 如果用户选择特定的文本行，则设备可以识别所选择的文本行的开始时间。 然后，设备可以在所选择的文本行的识别的开始时间播放媒体内容项目。

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for generating event recommendations. Embodiments of the disclosure identify an event associated with a location and an artist. An artist recommendation corresponding to the artist is generated for users based upon the media consumption of the users. An event recommendation corresponding to the event is generated for users near the location. A level of demand for the event is determined based upon a conversion rate.
