Abstract
The present invention relates to a system and method for customizing media (e.g., songs, text, books, stories, video, audio . . . ) via a computer network, such as the Internet. A system in accordance with the invention includes a component that provides for a user to search for and select media to be customized. A customization component receives data relating to modifying the selected media and generates a customized version of the media incorporating the received modification data. A distribution component delivers the customized media to the user. The present invention solves a unique problem in the current art by enabling a user to alter media in order to customize the media for a particular subject or recipient. This is advantageous in that the user need not have any singing ability for example and is not required to purchase any additional peripheral computer accessories to utilize the present invention. Thus, customization of media can occur for example via recording an audio track of customized lyrics or by textually manipulation of the lyrics and/or graphics. In achieving this goal, the present invention utilizes client/server architecture such as is commonly used for transmitting information over a computer network such as the Internet.
