Method and system for communicating, creating and interacting with content between and among computing devices
First Claim
1. A method of communicating content between a first computing device and a second computing device comprising the steps of:
- communicating software code to the first computing device; and
communicating a musical composition to the first computing device;
wherein the software code is operable in connection with a processor of the first computing device for;
providing an interface;
enabling a user of the first computing device to manipulate the musical composition and create a user manipulated musical composition;
enabling the user of the first computing device to create a new musical composition; and
enabling the first computing device to communicate a user musical composition to the second computing device.

Abstract
A system and method for communicating, creating and interacting with content between and among computing devices. A musical composition may be transmitted along with or as part of an e-mail message. An applet is provided that enables a user to play back, revise, create, and transmit musical compositions without having to download large software applications by utilizing short repeating loops of music that permit hi-fidelity sound quality without the normally required large file size. Each sender/recipient computing device has the ability to provide an audio output, and has client software that facilitates the transmission and reception of e-mail. In addition, a Shockwave, Flash, or other similar plug-in (or hardware and/or software playback logic) is also required. Special purpose software is provided on a server to facilitate communication of a musical composition via e-mail, or other techniques such as instant messaging, chat, or even voice) between and among computing devices over a network such as the Internet. In yet another embodiment, a first user may add a sound to a text message that is played back simultaneously with the recipient'"'"'s reading of the text message.

34. A method of communicating content between computing devices comprising the steps of:
by a first computing device, communicating software code and a musical composition to a second computing device, wherein the software code is operable in connection with a processor of the second computing device for;
providing an interface;
enabling a user of the second computing device to manipulate the musical composition and create a user manipulated musical composition;
enabling the user of the second computing device to create a new musical composition; and
enabling the second computing device to communicate a user musical composition to another computing device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46)
- 47. A method of adding sound to a text message created by a first user having a first computing device with text messaging software installed thereon and operable in connection therewith, the text message being intended by the first user to be communicated to a recipient having a second computing device with text messaging software installed thereon and operable in connection therewith, said method comprising the step of communicating software code to the first computing device for operation in connection with the text messaging software, the software code enabling the first user to select a sound to be added to the text message by adding an identifier to the text message identifying the sound selected by the first user, wherein when the recipient receives and opens the text message, the identifier causes the second computing to playback the sound added by the first user.
