Abstract

A method includes reading descriptive information about an audio file from meta-data for the audio file, and concatenating at least a portion of an audio format of the descriptive information to the audio file.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

reading descriptive information about an audio file from meta-data for the audio file; and

concatenating at least a portion of an audio format of the descriptive information to the audio file.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

converting the descriptive information to the audio format prior to concatenating.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the audio format of the descriptive information is concatenated to the beginning of the audio file.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the concatenating is performed in response to an operation to transfer the audio file from a first computer system to a second computer system.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the audio file comprises the meta-data.

6. A method comprising:

reading descriptive information about an audio file from meta-data for the audio file; and

mixing an audio format of at least a portion of the descriptive information with the audio file.

7. The method of claim 6 further comprising:

converting the descriptive information to the audio format prior to mixing.

8. The method of claim 6 wherein at least a portion of the audio format of the descriptive information is mixed with audio at the beginning of the audio file.

9. The method of claim 6 wherein the mixing is performed in response to an operation to transfer the audio file from a first computer system to a second computer system.

10. The method of claim 6 wherein the audio file comprises the meta-data.

11. An article comprising:

a machine-readable media comprising instructions which, when executed by a processor, result in;

reading descriptive information about an audio file from meta-data for the audio file; and

concatenating at least a portion of an audio format of the descriptive information to the audio file.

12. The article of claim 11 further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, further result in:

converting the descriptive information to the audio format prior to concatenating.

13. The article of claim 11 wherein concatenating further comprises:

concatenating at least a portion of the audio format of the descriptive information to the beginning of the audio file.

14. The article of claim 11 wherein the concatenating is performed in response to an operation to transfer the audio file from a first computer system to a second computer system.

15. The article of claim 11 wherein the audio file comprises the meta-data.

17. The system of claim 16 further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, further result in:

converting the descriptive information to the audio format prior to concatenating.

18. The system of claim 16 wherein concatenating further comprises:

concatenating at least a portion of the audio format of the descriptive information to the beginning of the audio file.

19. The system of claim 16 wherein the concatenating is performed in response to an operation to transfer the audio file from a first computer system to a second computer system.

20. The system of claim 16 wherein the audio file comprises the meta-data.

16. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a machine-readable media comprising instructions which, when executed by the processor, result in;

reading descriptive information about an audio file from meta-data for the audio file; and

concatenating at least a portion of an audio format of the descriptive information to the audio file.
