A “Music Mapper” automatically constructs a set coordinate vectors for use in inferring similarity between various pieces of music. In particular, given a music similarity graph expressed as links between various artists, albums, songs, etc., the Music Mapper applies a recursive embedding process to embed each of the graphs music entries into a multi-dimensional space. This recursive embedding process also embeds new music items added to the music similarity graph without reembedding existing entries so long a convergent embedding solution is achieved. Given this embedding, coordinate vectors are then computed for each of the embedded musical items. The similarity between any two musical items is then determined as either a function of the distance between the two corresponding vectors. In various embodiments, this similarity is then used in constructing music playlists given one or more random or user selected seed songs or in a statistical music clustering process.

Apparatus and method for reproducing a MIDI file are provided. In the apparatus and the method, notes and note reproduction times are extracted from the MIDI file and a difference between a start point and an end point in a Loop section of relevant sound source data according to the note reproduction time is detected and stored. The above stored difference between the start point and end point of the sound source data which will be reproduced is compensated and outputted, so that sound quality distortion in the Loop section is eliminated or reduced.

To store main information with associated additional information incorporated therein, data constituting the additional information is divided into a plurality of small-size data pieces of, e.g., one bit. Then, the respective values of particular ones of predetermined data units (e.g., bytes) constituting the main information are subjected to arithmetic operations in accordance with a predetermined algorithm containing the value of each of the data pieces as a parameter. In this way, the respective values of the particular data units in the main information are modulated in accordance with the values of the individual data pieces in the additional information; at that time, only some of the data unit values are altered with the others left unaltered. The thus-arithmetically-operated main information is stored into a storage. For reproduction of the additional information, the stored main information is read out, and the individual data pieces are reproduced from the particular data units by inversely executing the algorithm. For example, the main information includes MIDI key-on event data, program change data or control change data, waveform data, or image data, and the additional information includes letter data representative of the name of an author of a music piece in question, title of the music piece or title of an image and data representative of a data format employed.

A music apparatus has a capability of using a composite music content. In the music apparatus, a storage section stores a file of the composite music content composed of a plurality of content materials, each of which is encrypted individually. The content materials include a usable content material which matches with the capability of the music apparatus and an unusable content material which does not match with the capability of the music apparatus. In the music apparatus, an identifying section identifies the usable content material among the plurality of the content materials of the composite music content stored in the storage section. Then, a decrypting section selectively decrypts the usable content material identified by the identifying section. Thereafter, a using section uses the decrypted usable content material.

Method for communication between a central server and a computerized juke-box which operates in a conference mode, including: sending a header before any transaction, which includes the identity of the destination together, the identity of the emitter, and the size of the packets; responding from the server in the form of a data packet, each packet sent by the server being encoded using the identification code of the juke-box software; and receiving a data packet by the juke-box, which decodes the packet, simultaneously performs a check on the data received by the CRC method and sends an acknowledgment of receipt to the server indicating the accuracy of the information received, to allow it to prepare and send another packet to the juke-box.

An electronic entertainment system for creating a video sequence by executing video game camera behavior based upon a video game sound file includes a memory configured to store an action event/camera behavior (AE/CB) database, game software such as an action generator module, and one or more sound files. In addition, the system includes a sound processing unit coupled to the memory for processing a selected sound file, and a processor coupled to the memory and the sound processing unit. The processor randomly selects an AE pointer and a CB pointer from the AE/CB database. Upon selection of the CB pointer and the AE pointer, the action generator executes camera behavior corresponding to the selected CB pointer to view an action event corresponding to the selected AE pointer.

A system and method for delivering multimedia content to computers over a computer network, such as the Internet, includes a novel media player which may be downloaded onto a user's personal computer. The media player includes a user interface which allows a listener to search an online database of media selections and build a custom playlist of exactly the music selections desired by the listener. The multimedia content delivery system delivers advertisements which remain visible on a user's computer display screen at all times when the application is open, for example, while music selections are being delivered to the user. The advertisements are displayed in a window which always remains on a topmost level of windows on the user's computer display screen, even if the user is executing one or more other programs with the computer.
摘要:
A music apparatus is constructed for providing a music performance according to performance data. In the music apparatus, an input section inputs performance data composed of a header part and a body part containing music sequence data associated to a music performance. A searching section searches the header part of the performance data to find therefrom a keyword. A reading section provides music control information corresponding to the keyword searched from the header part. A generator section processes the music sequence data contained in the body part of the inputted performance data based on the music control information provided from the reading section to thereby output a signal representative of the music performance.
