System and method for evaluating media segments for interestingness

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• analyzing a first audiofile, to yield a first analysis, wherein the first analysis identifies a first segment of a first plurality of segments within the first audiofile, the first segment being one of a most interesting segment, a most important segment, a most relevant segment, and a most representative segment;
• analyzing a second audiofile, to yield a second analysis, wherein the second analysis identifies a second segment of a second plurality of segments within the second audiofile, the second segment comprising one of a most interesting segment, a most important segment, a most relevant segment, and a most representative segment;
• and
• presenting the first segment as a representative segment of the first audiofile and the second segment as a representative of the second audiofile within a three-dimensional audio space.
