Abstract:
An internet radio player provides more personalized streaming audio content by assigning play amounts to different streaming media stations, and then playing streams from the different media stations at a playback device for play times corresponding to the respective play amounts. The play time for a given stream is calculated as a user-defined percentage for the associated stream source multiplied by an expected listening period. The different stream sources can include different musical genres and formats, news, sports, weather, or traffic. Play amounts can be automatically adjusted based on user selection of the currently-playing stream source for increased or decreased play. A particular stream can also be played at a predetermined clock time, and the streams can further be ordered for play according to user preference. The present invention accordingly provides a richer listening experience than that attained by listening to a single internet radio stream, even if the single stream already reflects a user's preferences.

Claim (Index 15):
A digital program product comprising:\n a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium; and program instructions residing in said non-transitory machine-readable storage medium for personalizing streaming media content by:\n identifying a plurality of available streaming-media stations, wherein at least one of the streaming-media stations streams media selected in accordance with user feedback associated with a user of a client-side streaming media player; \n presenting station selection options to the user of the client-side streaming media player, the station selection options including:\n an option to select at least two media stations from among the plurality of available streaming-media stations; and \n an option to specify respective play-time amounts allotted to each of the at least two media stations, wherein the respective play-time amounts indicate portions of an expected media streaming period allocated to an individual media station; \n \n automatically sequencing the at least two media stations to generate a combined media output by switching among the at least two media stations in accordance with the station selection options; and \n during each instance of the expected media streaming period, outputting the combined media output to an output device.
