Abstract
Systems and methods for customizing data including audio data. A database stores audio data, customization data, and metadata that is related to both the audio data and the customization data. A user can select audio from the audio data. Then, information is collected from the user based on the selected audio and the metadata associated with the selected audio. From the collected information, inserts are identified from the customization data. The inserts are merged into the selected audio to produce customized audio. The inserts are seamlessly integrated into the selected audio to eliminate aural discontinuities and improve the listening experience. The inserts and the audio data are pre-processed to insure that merging the inserts into the audio data provides customized audio that is seamlessly integrated. The customized audio can then be delivered to the recipient.
