Abstract:
1. A method for generating at least one playlist of high affinity media entities, comprising: selecting contents of a first media station; storing said selected contents and the first media station in a historical record; analyzing said stored contents and the first media station to extract a first set of classification mappings; selecting contents of a second media station; analyzing said selected contents of the second media station to extract a second set of classification mappings; cross-analyzing said first and second sets of classification mappings to generate a prominent set of classification mappings that represent high affinity space for a user performing said selecting of said contents of first and second media stations; searching a matching database for media entities having similar mappings to the prominent set of classification mappings, wherein the media entities in the matching database have been classified according to a classification system characterized by the convergence of perceptual and digital signal processing classification techniques; and generating a high affinity playlist that includes at least one of said media entities.
