Abstract:
1. A computer program product for playback of content, comprising one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions being configured such that, when executed, the computer program instructions cause one or more computing devices to: identify an audio file selected for playback, the audio file including audio content and having a first digital signature and a first playback duration associated therewith; identify a video file corresponding to the audio file, the video file including an audio component including the same audio content as the audio file and having a second digital signature associated therewith at least a portion of which is substantially identical to the first digital signature, the audio component of the video file also having a second playback duration associated therewith, identification of the video file being based on a comparison of the first and second digital signatures; provide a selectable option to initiate playback of the video file in response to identification of the video file; in response to selection of the selectable option, identify a pair of matching transition points associated with the first and second digital signatures during playback of the audio file, the pair of matching transition points including a first data point included in the first digital signature and a second data point included in the second digital signature that matches the first data point; and cause a transition from playback of the audio content included in the audio file to playback of the video file at the matching transition points such that playback of the same audio content included in the video file begins at a point in the second playback duration corresponding to one of the matching transition points that substantially matches a point in the first playback duration corresponding to the other matching transition point at which playback of the audio file ends, and such that a transition of acoustic energy associated with playback of the audio content included in the audio file to acoustic energy associated with playback of the same audio content in the video file is substantially imperceptible to a human listener.
