Rhythm metadata enabled intra-track navigation and content modification in a music player

Published: 04 December 2006 Publication History

Abstract

This paper presents a rhythm metadata enabled music player. The player allows the user to navigate within a music track by skipping to the next or previous measure while the playback remains continuous. The player also includes a looping functionality allowing the user to repeat the currently playing measure. The player enables the above navigation and looping in an entertaining way without breaking the sensation of beat and rhythm. We also consider an easy way of creating variations of an original music track with the help of rhythm metadata and present a data format for storing such a variation.
