Abstract
Disclosed is a computing device to allow for the selection and display of a multimedia presentation of an audio file to a user. An interface device couples the musical instrument to the computing device by performing A/D conversion of the musical instrument'"'"'s analog audio signal to create a digitized audio signal. The computing device includes a communication device and a processor. The communication device transmits a user'"'"'s request for the selection of a musical piece to a server. In turn, the communication device receives a session file associated with the musical piece from the server. The processor processes the session file such that the computing device presents a multimedia presentation of the audio file to the user. Moreover, the processor processes the digitized audio signal of the musical instrument so that the user can play the musical instrument in conjunction with the multimedia presentation of the audio file.

55. A computing device to allow for the selection and display of a multimedia presentation of an audio file to a user and to allow the user to play a non-virtual musical instrument in conjunction with the multimedia presentation, wherein an interface device couples the musical instrument to the computing device by performing analog to digital conversion of the non-virtual musical instrument'"'"'s analog audio signal generated responsive to a user actually playing the non-virtual musical instrument to create a digitized audio signal and a server transmits a session file associated with a musical piece to the computing device through a computer network, the session file including an audio file and multimedia data, the computing device comprising:
-
a communication device to;
transmit a user'"'"'s request for the selection of a musical piece to the server; and
receive the session file associated with the selected musical piece from the server; and
a processor to;
process the session file such that the computing device presents a multimedia presentation of the audio file to the user; and
process the digitized audio signal of the non-virtual musical instrument which is generated responsive to a user actually playing the non-virtual musical instrument so that the user can play the non-virtual musical instrument in conjunction with the multimedia presentation of the audio file. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66)
