The app may also be executed to modify, within the app, audio of a digital content per the audio profile. For example, a built-in media player incorporated into the app may be used to modify the audio of the digital content within the app per the audio profile prior to outputting the audio to the digital platform. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method, comprising: executing an application (“app”) of a digital platform to allow a user to select digital content from a plurality of content choices; responsive to user selection of the digital content via the app, receiving the digital content from a content source; configuring the app with an audio profile chosen from a plurality of audio profiles; decrypting and decompressing the digital content; modifying a decrypted audio portion of the digital content per the chosen audio profile; outputting the modified decrypted audio portion using the app; and playing the modified decrypted audio portion at a client device according to the chosen audio profile; wherein the plurality of audio profiles are: different from each other, each associated with a same user, each tailored to a different frequency response of a different speaker configuration. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the audio profile is chosen based on the digital content being associated with a particular type of content such that different audio profiles are chosen depending on content type, the particular type of content being one of: music, a movie, a television show. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a headphone speaker. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker, and wherein a second audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker. ### Claim 7 An assembly, comprising: at least one processor configured with instructions to: execute an application (“app”) of a digital platform to allow a user to select digital content from a plurality of content choices; responsive to user selection of the digital content via the app, receive the digital content from a content source; configure the app with an audio profile chosen from a plurality of audio profiles; decrypt and decompress the digital content; modify a decrypted audio portion of the digital content per the audio profile; output the decrypted modified audio portion using the app; and play the modified decrypted audio portion at a client device according to the audio profile; wherein the plurality of audio profiles are: different from each other, each associated with a same user, each tailored to a different frequency response of a different speaker configuration. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein the instructions are executable to: prior to configuring the app with the audio profile, provide a user with an option to create an audio profile. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The assembly of claim 8, wherein the instructions are executable to: prior to configuring the app with the audio profile, execute the app to provide the user with the option to create an audio profile through the app. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein the audio profile is chosen based on the digital content being associated with a particular type of content such that different audio profiles are chosen depending on content type, the particular type of content being one of: music, a movie, a television show. ### Claim 11 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a headphone speaker. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The assembly of claim 7, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker, and wherein a second audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker. ### Claim 15 An apparatus, comprising: at least one computer storage that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to: execute an application (“app”) of a digital platform to allow a user to select digital content; responsive to user selection of the digital content via the app, access the digital content; load, into the app, an audio profile chosen from a plurality of audio profiles; modify, using the app, an audio portion of the accessed digital content per the audio profile; and play, according to the audio profile, the modified audio portion through the app at a client device; wherein the plurality of audio profiles are: different from each other, each associated with a same user, each tailored to a different frequency response of a different speaker configuration. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the audio profile is chosen based on the digital content being associated with a particular type of content such that different audio profiles are chosen depending on content type, the particular type of content being one of: music, a movie, a television show. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a headphone speaker. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The apparatus of claim 15, wherein a first audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a smart phone speaker, and wherein a second audio profile of the plurality of audio profiles is an audio profile tailored to a television speaker.
