Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for initiating play of dynamically rendered audio content, comprising: receiving a first indication that play of an audio content selection is to be initiated; receiving an indication of a control setting from a multi-purpose control indicator; outputting an audio input request to each of a plurality of component music engines, each of which is controlled by the multi-purpose control indicator; receiving a first audio input from each of the plurality of component music engines consistent with the control setting; dynamically generating a first rendition of the audio content selection based upon the received first audio inputs; outputting the first rendition of the dynamically generated audio content selection; receiving a second indication that play of the audio content selection is to be initiated; outputting a second audio input request to each of the plurality of component music engines; receiving a second audio input from each of the plurality of component music engines consistent with the control setting; dynamically generating a second rendition of the audio content selection based upon the received second audio inputs; and outputting the second rendition of the dynamically generated audio content selection, wherein the first rendition and the second rendition are different from one another.
