Systems and methods for dynamically extending or shortening segments in a playlist

A system, comprising:

• a communication port;
• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• control circuitry communicably coupled to the memory and the communication port and configured to execute the instructions to:
• receive a request to summarize a subset of a plurality of media assets;
• based at least in part on receiving the request to summarize, generate a playlist comprising a plurality of segments from the subset of a plurality of media assets;
• receive a request to modify a duration of a first segment of the plurality of segments;
• based at least in part on receiving the request to modify the duration of the first segment:
• determine an attribute of the first segment;
• and
• generate modified segments by modifying a duration of each segment in a subset of the plurality of segments having the attribute;
• generate a modified playlist by replacing each segment in the subset of the plurality of segments having the attribute with its corresponding modified segment;
• and
• play back the modified playlist.
