Providing “identified” compositions and digital-works

Apparatus for providing compositions to a user, the apparatus comprising:

• a sound sensor associated with a user-device;
• wherein said sound sensor captures sound occurring external to said user-device;
• detection circuitry, to detect action(s) by a user, that indicate interest in an external composition;
• wherein when said detection circuitry detects said action by a user, a process is initiated to identify said external composition, by using data sensed by said sound sensor, from at least part of said external composition;
• one or more processors configured to:
• obtain an identification of said external composition;
• select a marketed composition that:
• is at least a portion of said identified external composition or is at least a portion of another composition that was determined to be related to said identified external composition;
• wherein said user is determined to have no or only partial usage-rights for said marketed composition;
• obtain usage-rights, to allow said marketed composition to be played-back, a limited amount or limited number of times, in a sequence of compositions that is customized for said user:
• at a time that is unrelated to said detection circuitry detecting said action(s) by said user, play a sequence of compositions that is customized for said user;
• wherein following compositions in said sequence begin play without requiring any action by said user;
• automatically without requiring user-action(s), initiate a playback of at least a portion of said marketed composition as part of said sequence of compositions.

One or more, non-transitory storage memory or storage media;

• having computer-readable instructions thereon which, when executed by one or more processors, implements a method of:
• capturing, with a sound sensor associated with a user-device, at least part of an external composition containing sound that is occurring external to the user-device;
• obtaining, by a processor or processors, an identification of said composition that was determined by an analysis of a captured part of the composition;
• wherein said identification of said external composition was initiated when detection circuitry detected action(s) by a user that indicates a user's interest in said external composition;
• selecting a marketed composition that:
• is at least a portion of said identified external composition or is at least a portion of another composition that was determined to be related to said identified external composition;
• wherein said user is determined to have no or only partial usage-rights for said marketed composition;
• obtaining usage-rights, to allow said marketed composition to be played-back, a limited amount or limited number of times, in a sequence of compositions that is customized for said user;
• at a time that is unrelated to said detection circuitry detection of said action(s) by said user, playing a sequence of compositions that is customized for said user;
• wherein following compositions in said sequence begin play without requiring any action by said user;
• automatically without requiring action by said user, initiating a playback of at least a portion of said marketed composition as part of said sequence of compositions.
