    摘要: A content server system provides a client device with content, such as an audio stream. Using various techniques, an estimate is made of the actual size of an audience associated with the provided content, rather than assuming that the audience is limited to a single user of the client device. The estimate may be made by the content server system, the client device, or the content server system and the client device collectively. Using the estimate of actual size of the audience, the content server system can take actions appropriate for the audience, such as providing advertisements appropriate for the size of the audience and for the collective characteristics of the audience members. The estimate of the actual audience size additionally allows the content server system to be compensated more precisely for any advertisements provided to that audience.

    摘要: A media service server for streaming media items with similar media features receives a plurality of media items, where each media item of the plurality of media item is labeled with one or more media features characterizing the media item. Audio content features from the plurality of media items are extracted. Correlations between the audio content features and the media features are identified. A set of media items to be analyzed is received. For each media item of the set of media items, a set of media features based on the identified correlations between the audio content features and the plurality of media features is estimated. Each estimated media feature is associated with a confidence score. The set of media items with the estimated media features is provided to one or more experts for expert analysis.

    摘要: A content server system provides a user of a client device with a playlist of content, such as streamed audio. The provided playlist is customized for the particular country of the user, even if the content server system has only recently begun to provide content to that country. To customize the playlist for a country lacking a sufficient amount of country-specific statistical data, the content server system generates a number of non-country-specific channels, each channel recommending content according to its own criteria. The content server system generates a non-content specific playlist by combining the channels. The content server system also generates, using the statistics for the country of the user, a country-specific channel that is specific to that country. The content server system generates a country-specific playlist by combining the non-country-specific playlist with the country-specific channel, e.g., according to the amount of country-specific statistics that are available.

    摘要: A content server provides customized media items to present to a user using vehicle information. The content server receives environmental information, user feedback for presented media items, and vehicle information for an associated vehicle from a client device associated with a user. The client device receives the vehicle information from a vehicle platform of the vehicle. The content server analyzes the environmental information and user feedback to create a user profile for the user. The content server also analyzes the vehicle information to create a vehicle profile for the associated vehicle. Using the user profile and the vehicle profile, the content server selects media items to send to the client device to present to the user.

    摘要: Data streams are generally selected according to user preferences and transmitted to the user in general alignment with expressed preferences of the user. Such data streams may be music, including music videos. Users may indicate their general or specific preferences with regards to song, artists, or albums. Any other aspects or factors that might affect the user's preferences can be taken into account. A playlist is created that combines all of these factors. The playlist then serves as the basis for feeding the data streams to the user. Each user is able to express his or her own preferences and receive music corresponding to those preferences on an on-going basis.
