Abstract
This document describes a device for receiving and displaying graphical representations of digital music tracks and their components (in the form of digital interactive phrases, or “DIPs”). The device allows a user to play the music tracks using a new format, blend, mix or mash different music tracks together, via a digital interactive phrase process, and produce and listen to the blended, mixed or mashed digital music.
Claims13
A media device comprising:
- a player device adapted to mix a plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases and to display a representation thereof, each discrete digital interactive phrase encoded with a unique code and associated with one or more of an instrumental phrase and a lyrics phrase, the player device being configured to:
- create a mixed sequence by mixing the plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases in accordance with a first sequence while keeping the lyrics phrase and the instrumental phrase of each discrete digital interactive phrase together,
- create a first reference file from the codes associated with the mixed plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases, and
- provide the mixed sequence to a user by transmitting the first reference file without the discrete digital interactive phrases associated with the mixed sequence;
- and
- a plurality of media components, each media component storing a set of the plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases, and having a physical and data exchange connection with the player device to transfer the digital interactive phrases to the player device for the mixing of the digital interactive phrases.
A method of processing and playing media files, the method comprising:
- mixing a plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases from at least two media components connected to a media device to form a mixed sequence representing a mixed version of the plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases, each discrete digital interactive phrase encoded with a unique code and associated with one or more of an instrumental phrase and a lyrics phrase, the mixing keeping the lyrics phrase and the instrumental phrase of each discrete digital interactive phrase together;
- creating a first reference file from the codes associated with the mixed plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases;
- and
- providing the mixed sequence to a user by transmitting the first reference file without the discrete digital interactive phrases associated with the mixed sequence.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions to configure a processor to perform operations comprising:
- creating a mixed sequence of audio content by mixing a plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases in accordance with a first sequence, each discrete digital interactive phrase encoded with a unique code and associated with one or more of an instrumental phrase and a lyrics phrase, the mixing keeping the lyrics phrase and the instrumental phrase of each discrete digital interactive phrase together;
- creating a first reference file from the codes associated with the mixed plurality of discrete digital interactive phrases;
- and
- providing the mixed sequence to a user by transmitting the first reference file without the discrete digital interactive phrases associated with the mixed sequence.
