Music player connection system for enhanced playlist selection
First Claim
1. A method of generating shared media content comprising:
- generating a plurality of media content profiles for a corresponding plurality of participant devices, wherein a media content profile includes a representation of at least one corresponding media file in the corresponding participant device;
combining the plurality of media content profiles into a super profile;
comparing media files in the plurality of participant devices to the super profile based on comparison criteria; and
identifying at least one media file in a participant device that satisfies the comparison criteria.

Abstract
A system compiles a music playlist to accommodate the tastes of various participants in a group setting. A music profile is created for each participant, the profile containing representations of songs that are characteristic of the participant'"'"'s tastes. A master device may then compile a “super profile” that constitutes a compilation of the various participant profiles. Each participant device may then access the super profile and search among its specific song collection to find music that is similar to one or more songs represented in the super profile. From such songs, the master device may compile a playlist of songs that are similar among the participant devices, thereby representing the songs that correspond to the collective musical tastes of the participants. The playlist may be updated as participants enter and leave the group to track the changing collective tastes of the participants.
