Abstract:
A system for playing media content items operates to provide smooth transitions between the media content items to continuously support a user's repetitive motion activity. The system can generate crossfade data containing information for transitions between media content items. The mix-in and mix-out points for the transitions are calculated to eliminate one or more portions of media content items that have lower musical energy than a majority portion of the items, and to maintain substantially consistent and/or stable musical energy (e.g., audio power or sound power) throughout the media content items including transitions therebetween.

Claim (Index 38):
A method of providing a continuous transition during playback of a plurality of media content items, the method comprising:\n determining, using at least one computing device, a mix-out point of a first media content item, comprising:\n dividing the first media content item into a plurality of sections; \n determining an ending section of the plurality of sections; \n dividing the ending section into a plurality of segments; \n determining a value of a musical attribute for each of the plurality of segments of the ending section of the first media content item; \n identifying, from the plurality of segments of the ending section, a segment of the ending section having the musical attribute with a highest value; and \n defining a beginning of the identified segment of the ending section as the mix-out point of the first media content item; \n determining, using the at least one computing device, a mix-in point of a second media content item, comprising:\n dividing the second media content item into a plurality of sections; \n determining a beginning section of the plurality of sections; \n dividing the beginning section into a plurality of segments; \n determining a value of a musical attribute for each of the plurality of segments of the beginning section of the second media content item; \n identifying, from the plurality of segments of the beginning section, a segment of the beginning section having the musical attribute with a highest value; and \n defining a beginning of the identified segment of the beginning section as the mix-in point of the second media content item; \n storing the mix-out point of the first media content item as mix-out point data for the first media content item; storing the mix-in point of the second media content item as mix-in point data for the second media content item; and transmitting the mix-out point data and the mix-in point data to a media playback device for playback of the first media content item and the second media content item on the media playback device with the mix-out point of the first media content item aligned with the mix-in point of the second media content item.
