First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method to control a playback of recorded sound, comprising the steps of:
- displaying on a pressure-sensitive display screen a processor-generated image of a vinyl record;
playing, by use of a processor in communication with a processor storage, a sound encoded in the processor storage, to produce a playback of the encoded sound;
animating the processor-generated image of the vinyl record, to produce an animation of the vinyl record rotating in synchronicity with the playback;
detecting touch on the animation, the touch including at least one first touch and at least two second touches; and
controlling the playback and the animation in response to the detected touch,wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation includes adjusting a speed of the playback and a speed of the corresponding vinyl record rotation in correlation with an amount of pressure exerted by the at least one first touch on a portion of the pressure-sensitive screen that is used to display the image of the vinyl record; and
wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation further includes generating one or more cue points for customizing the playback by designating a portion of the sound encoded in the processor storage in response to the at least two second touches on a portion of the pressure-sensitive screen that is used to display a cue point control.

Abstract
A processor-implemented method to control a playback of recorded sound is provided. The method includes displaying on a pressure-sensitive display screen a processor-generated image of a vinyl record and playing, by use of a processor in communication with a processor storage, a sound encoded in the processor storage, to produce a playback of the encoded sound. The method also includes animating the processor-generated image of the vinyl record, to produce an animation of the vinyl record rotating in synchronicity with the playback. The method further includes detecting touch on the animation, the touch including at least one first touch and at least two second touches and controlling the playback and the animation in response to the detected touch. The controlling of the playback and the animation includes generating one or more cue points by designating a portion of the sound encoded in the processor storage.

12. A system to control playback of recorded sound, comprising:
-
a processor in communication with a processor storage, the processor configured to produce a playback of the encoded sound; and a pressure-sensitive display screen in communication with the processor, wherein; the display screen is configured to display a processor-generated image of a vinyl record; the display screen is configured to display a processor-generated animation of the image of the vinyl record, the processor-generated animation of the vinyl record rotating in synchronicity with the playback; the display screen is configured to detect touch on the animation, the touch including at least one first touch and at least two second touches; and the display screen is configured to display a processor-controlled animation, the playback and the animation responsive to the detected touch, to control the playback and the animation, wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation includes adjusting a speed of the playback and a speed of the corresponding vinyl record rotation in correlation with an amount of pressure exerted by the at least one first touch on a portion of the pressure-sensitive screen that is used to display the image of the vinyl record; and wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation further includes generating one or more cue points for customizing the playback by designating a portion of the sound encoded in the processor storage in response to the at least two second touches on a portion of the touch-sensitive screen that is used to display a cue point control. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for controlling playback of a recorded sound, the method comprising:
-
displaying on a pressure-sensitive display screen a processor-generated image of an image of a vinyl record; playing, by use of a processor in communication with a processor storage, a sound encoded in the processor storage, to produce a playback of the encoded sound; animating the processor-generated image of the vinyl record to produce an animation of the vinyl record rotating in synchronicity with the playback; detecting touch on the animation, the touch including at least one first touch and at least two second touches; and controlling the playback and the animation in response to the detected touch, wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation includes adjusting a speed of the playback and a speed of the corresponding vinyl record rotation in correlation with an amount of pressure exerted by the at least one first touch on a portion of the pressure-sensitive screen that is used to display the image of the vinyl record; and wherein the controlling of the playback and the animation further includes generating one or more cue points for customizing the playback by designating a portion of the sound encoded in the processor storage in response to the at least two second touches on a portion of the pressure-sensitive screen that is used to display a cue point control.
