1. A media file synchronization system for synchronizing media files, the media file synchronization system comprising:

  • remote data processing means;

    host data processing means in communication with the remote data processing means, the host data processing means comprising identifier redirection means;

    a user interface in communication with, and operable via said host data processing means;

    media player means operable via said host data processing means, the media player means comprising play list folder generation means, the play list folder generation means for visually displaying a drop box-enabled play list folder upon the user interface;

    folder populating means operable via said host data processing means for selectively populating said play list folder with (1) a dynamic media file play list and (2) listed tracks associated with said media file play list;

    file transfer means operable via the host and remote data processing means for transferring media file data intermediate the remote and host data processing means;

    data extraction means associated with the host data processing means for enabling sinusoidal waveform data extraction from media file data the sinusoidal waveform data extraction being relative to a data extraction baseline for extracting trough-to-baseline and peak-to-baseline length segment values;

    summary statistic derivation means associated with the host data processing means for deriving calculated statistical values for the trough-to-baseline and peak-to-baseline length segment values, the calculated statistical values being for the trough-to-baseline and peak-to-baseline length segment values;

    custom marker generation means, the custom marker generation means being associated with the host data processing means for generating a custom marker based on derived summary statistics;

    marker association means associated with the host data processing means for respectively associating generated custom markers with the media file data for forming marked media file data; and

    file synchronization means operable via the host and remote data processing means for synchronizing changes to the playlist folder, the file synchronization means comprising automatic file synchronization means and interval file synchronization means, the media file data comprising mixed media/metadata files, media-only files, and metadata-only files, the automatic file synchronization means being cooperable with the mixed media/metadata files, the interval file synchronization means being cooperable with the media-only and metadata-only files, the interval file synchronization means, when initiated, prompting identifier redirection via the identifier redirection means from the media-only files to the metadata-only files.
