Patent ID: 7948981

Claim:
A method of storing audio information in a form adapted for rearrangement comprising: identifying a musical score of audio information; decomposing the score into a plurality of parts, each of the parts defining a segment of the score operable as a rearrangable element; assigning a function to each of the parts, the function indicative of the order of the part as a rearrangable element, the parts responsive to a rearranger operable to recombine the parts in a particular order based on the function; the parts having types denoting the functions of a start, middle and end, the middle parts resizable such that they are repeatable to provide a consistent rendered listening experience over a desired predetermined duration, the rearranged parts having a combined aggregate duration based on a user specified time, the assigned function defining a relation between each part of the plurality of parts, each part having a type, to indicate which part types may follow other part types in the particular order of the recombined sequence; and identifying each part as resizable or not resizable, and storing an attribute indicative of resizability, the resizeability attribute indicating if the part is arrangeable in an iterative manner.
