The memory stores instructions executed by the processor to receive a message with audio content and video content. Audio fingerprints within the audio content are evaluated. The audio fingerprints are matched to known audio fingerprints to establish matched audio fingerprints. A determination is made whether the matched audio fingerprints correspond to a designated gallery constructed to receive a sequence of videos set to an audio time line. The matched audio fingerprints and corresponding video content are added to the audio time line. The operations are repealed until the audio time line is populated with corresponding video content to form a completed gallery with video segments set to audio segments that constitute a complete audio time line. The completed gallery is supplied in response to a request. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: generating, by a first computing device, a new message comprising video content and associated audio content, the message associated with a first user; receiving, by the first computing device, a selection from the first user of a selectable song associated with a designated gallery comprising video content of each of a plurality of messages received from a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users, each video content of each of the plurality of messages positioned in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on audio fingerprints of each of the video content; automatically causing, by the first computing device, the video content of the new message to be positioned at a location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on an audio fingerprint of the audio content of the new message; and displaying, by the first computing device, the designated gallery comprising the video content of the plurality of messages received from the plurality of computing devices associated with the plurality of users and the video content of the new message. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time. ### Claim 6 A computing device comprising: a processor; and a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled with the processor, the non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the processor cause the computing device to perform operations comprising: generating a new message comprising video content and associated audio content, the message associated with a first user; receiving a selection from the first user of Ma a selectable song associated with a designated gallery comprising video content of each of a plurality of messages received from a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users, each video content of each of the plurality of messages positioned in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on audio fingerprints of each of the video content; automatically causing the video content of the new message to be positioned at a location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on an audio fingerprint of the audio content of the new message; and displaying the designated gallery comprising the video content of the plurality of messages received from the plurality of computing devices associated with the plurality of users and the video content of the new message. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The computing device of claim 6, wherein the designated gallery is associated with a band. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The computing device of claim 6, wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the first user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The computing device of claim 6, wherein the video content included in the message from the first user includes up to six seconds of video content. ### Claim 10 (depends on 6) The computing device of claim 6, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The computing device of claim 6, wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time. ### Claim 12 A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause a computing device to perform operations comprising: generating a new message comprising video content and associated audio content, the message associated with a first user; receiving a selection from the first user of a selectable song associated with a designated gallery comprising video content of each of a plurality of messages received from a plurality of computing devices associated with a plurality of users, each video content of each of the plurality of messages positioned in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on audio fingerprints of each of the video content; automatically causing the video content of the new message to be positioned at a location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on an audio fingerprint of the audio content of the new message; and displaying the designated gallery comprising the video content of the plurality of messages received from the plurality of computing devices associated with the plurality of users and the video content of the new message. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein after receiving the selection from the first user of the selectable song, the first user is registered with the designated gallery associated with the selectable song. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the designated gallery comprises a collection of messages. ### Claim 15 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the designated gallery is available for a specified transitory period of time. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: displaying a recipient list with potential recipients of the new message; receiving a selection from the recipient list of at least one recipient for the new message; and sending the new message to the at least one recipient. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the causing the video content of the new message to be positioned at the location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on the audio fingerprint of message further comprises causing the audio content of the new message to also be positioned in the audio timeline at the location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on the audio finger print of the message. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein before automatically causing the video content of the new message to be positioned at the location in the audio timeline of the selectable song based on the audio fingerprint of the audio content of the new message, the message comprises: determining that the audio fingerprint of the audio content matches an audio fingerprint of the selectable song.
