System and methods for the automatic transmission of new, high affinity media
First Claim
1. A method for matching user musical preferences, comprising:
- providing, from a user, a specific choice of user preferences in song content to a content provider;
mapping the provided specific choice of user preferences in a song analysis and matching system using a set of fundamental musical properties that captures user preferences in song content;
scanning a database using the song analysis and matching system to find other songs that have a similar mapping of musical properties; and
playing automatically to the user other songs that have a similar mapping of musical properties;
allowing the user to make decisions of the other songs;
accessing a historical record containing at least one decision the user has made; and
restarting the playing of a new song according to selecting said at least one decision in said historical record, wherein said playing of said new song results in re-capturing of musical properties of said new song;

Abstract
A system and methods for the automatic transmission of new, high affinity media to a user are provided. In connection with a system that convergently merges perceptual and digital signal processing analysis of media entities for purposes of classifying the media entities, various means are provided to a user for automatically extracting media entities that represent a high (or low) affinity state/space for the user in connection with the generation of a high affinity playlist, channel or station. Techniques for providing a dynamic recommendation engine and techniques for rating media entities are also included are also included. Once a high affinity state/space is identified, the high affinity state/space may be persisted for the user from experience to experience.
