A digital audio processing system determines characteristics of an electronic presentation to generate a musical composition that is unique to the electronic presentation by adjoining digital audio stems in accordance with the characteristics of the electronic presentation. Embodiments enable a user to define an order for displaying images and a level of importance of the images with respect to one another. For example, the user may designate a specific one of the multiple images as a 'highlight image' for emphasizing during the electronic presentation. Then, the system may arrange numerous musical segments adjacent to one another so that the intensity (e.g., energy level) of a resulting musical composition coincides with key events (e.g., a highlight image being shown) of the particular electronic presentation. The intensity of a particular musical segment may indicate a relative note structure density as compared to other musical segments that are defined within the stem data.

An integrated gaming and media experience is disclosed, including television viewing on a gaming console. A client component is installed via a bootstrap process that uses authentication information to accomplish this task. Once installed, it integrates itself into a typical gaming display. Various console hardware details are used to enable communication between the client component and downstream servers providing the content. Once up and running, the client component allows users to watch television as if they were interacting with a set-top box. Users may switch between various applications on the gaming console, including but not limited to game titles, DVR, VOD, DVD programs, and so on.
