Abstract

The disclosure discloses a method, a device and a terminal for editing and playing music according to a data download speed. The method includes: generating, according to a preset number of continuously recorded download speed values, a number of preset speed domains, wherein the number of the preset speed domains is one more than the preset number of the download speed values, and setting one set frequency for each preset speed domain, wherein each set frequency corresponds to one preset musical sound; and playing a preset musical sound corresponding to a set frequency which corresponds to a preset speed domain when an immediate subsequent download speed value is within the preset speed domain. By means of the disclosure, an entertainment effect of “playing music randomly” can be achieved, so that entertainment experience of a user is increased and competitiveness of a product is improved.

determining which speed domain the immediate subsequent download speed value belongs to, and transmitting the set frequency, corresponding to the speed domain which the immediate subsequent download speed value belongs to, to an audio master control unit;

calling a dynamic link library in a computer operating system, and sending an instruction having a parameter with the set frequency to an Application Programming Interface (API);

converting the instruction to a recognizable code instruction for a computer, and sending the code to a playing unit;

Step B, playing a preset musical sound corresponding to a set frequency which corresponds to a speed domain when an immediate subsequent download speed value is within the speed domain, and

Step C, updating the preset number of the continuously recorded download speed values and prompting a user whether to turn off an audio function;

if the user selects not to turn off the audio function, returning to Step A; and

if the user selects to turn off the audio function, exiting an application program.
