Claims22
A system comprising:
- a first storage containing a plurality of audio files each containing a different audio content, the plurality of audio files comprising a plurality of audio file pairs, each audio file pair having a different first audio file of the plurality of audio files and a different second audio file of the plurality of audio files, the plurality of audio file pairs having a predefined pair order;
- a second storage storing a plurality of different predefined play patterns unassociated with the plurality of audio files, each of the plurality of predefined play patterns comprising a first instance occurring before a second instance, and indicating a play order for audio content of the first and second audio files of each of the plurality of audio file pairs, the play order being the same for each of the plurality of audio file pairs, the audio content of both the first and second audio files of each of the plurality of audio file pairs to be played at least once within the play order, the plurality of predefined play patterns to include a first play pattern indicating that the audio content of the first audio file is to be played for the first instance and a second play pattern indicating that the audio content of the second audio file is to be played for the first instance;
- a pattern selector configured to select first and second ones of the plurality of predefined play patterns, the first selected predefined play pattern being different from the second selected redefined play pattern;
- and
- an audio sequence assembler configured to automatically assemble the plurality of audio file pairs into a single audio sequence after the first and second selected predefined play patterns have both been selected, the single audio sequence comprising a first round followed without user intervention by a second round, the first round comprising the plurality of audio file pairs ordered in accordance with the play order of the first selected predefined play pattern, the second round comprising the plurality of audio file pairs ordered in accordance with the play order of the second selected predefined play pattern, the plurality of audio file pairs in at least one of the first and second rounds being also ordered in accordance with the redefined air order.

A method comprising:
- storing, on a computing device, a plurality of audio files each containing a different audio content, the plurality of audio files comprising a plurality of audio file pairs, each audio file pair having a different first audio file of the plurality of audio files and a different second audio file of the plurality of audio files, the plurality of audio file pairs having a predefined pair order;
- storing, on the computing device, a plurality of different predefined play patterns unassociated with the plurality of audio files, each of the plurality of predefined play patterns comprising a first instance occurring before a second instance, and indicating a play order for audio content of the first and second audio files of each of the plurality of audio file pairs, the play order being the same for each of the plurality of audio file pairs, the audio content of both the first and second audio files of each of the plurality of audio file pairs to be played at least once within the play order, the plurality of predefined play patterns to include a first play pattern indicating that the audio content of the first audio file is to be played for the first instance and a second play pattern indicating that the audio content of the second audio file is to be played for the first instance;
- receiving, by the computing device, selections of first and second ones of the plurality of predefined play patterns, the first selected predefined play pattern being different from the second selected predefined play pattern;
- and
- automatically assembling, by the computing device, the plurality of audio file pairs into a single audio sequence after the selections have both been received, the single audio sequence comprising a first round followed without user intervention by a second round, the first round comprising the plurality of audio file pairs ordered in accordance with the play order of the first selected predefined play pattern, the second round comprising the plurality of audio file pairs ordered in accordance with the play order of the second selected predefined play pattern, the plurality of audio file pairs in at least one of the first and second rounds being also ordered in accordance with the predefined pair order.
