Methods and systems for per persona processing media content-associated metadata

A software application comprising instructions embodied on a computer readable medium, the instructions being executable by a computing device and being configured to:

• monitor a user's media-playing experience, the media-playing experience being provided by a media-playing application that is configured to play media content on a computing device;
• produce metadata associated with the user's media-playing experience;
• and
• associate produced metadata with media content experienced by the user by providing the metadata into a file that contains the media content experienced by the user.

A method comprising:

• monitoring a user's media-playing experience by monitoring one or more parameters associated with the user's experience, the parameters comprising at least a last played time associated with when a particular piece of content was played by the user, wherein the act of monitoring is performed by a first device on which the user can experience the media content and further comprising updating metadata on at least a second device that can be used by the user to experience the media content by providing metadata from the first device to at least the second device;
• producing metadata associated with the monitored parameter(s);
• and
• associating produced metadata with media content experienced by the user.

A method comprising:

• defining a plurality of time periods;
• monitoring a user's media-playing experience by monitoring one or more parameters associated with the user's media-playing experience during the defined time periods, wherein the act of monitoring is performed by a first device on which the user can experience the media content and further comprising updating metadata on at least a second device that can be used by the user to experience the media content by providing metadata from the first device to at least the second device;
• producing metadata associated with the monitored parameter(s);
• and
• associating produced metadata with media content experienced by the user, wherein said produced metadata can comprise part of a piece of content that includes the media content itself.

A method comprising:

• defining a plurality of time periods;
• monitoring multiple users' media-playing experiences by monitoring one or more parameters associated with individual user's experience during the defined time periods, wherein the act of monitoring is performed by a first device on which one or more users can experience the media content and further comprising updating metadata on at least a second device that can be used by the one or more users to experience the media content by providing metadata from the first device to at least the second device;
• producing, for individual users, metadata associated with the monitored parameter(s);
• and
• associating, for individual users, produced metadata with media content experienced by the respective users, wherein said produced metadata can comprise part of a piece of content that includes the media content itself.

A method comprising:

• monitoring multiple users' media-playing experiences using a first device on which one or more users can experience the media;
• producing metadata associated with the users' media-playing experiences;
• associating produced metadata with media content experienced by the users, wherein said produced metadata can comprise part of a piece of content that includes the media content itself;
• maintaining, for individual users, at least the metadata in a database on the first device;
• updating metadata on at least a second device that can be used by one or more user to experience the media by providing metadata from the first device to at least the second device.
