A server system receives, from a first client device, a video recording created by the first client device and an indication that the video recording is to be associated with a media content item. The server system retrieves text associated with the media content item and provides the text for display at the first client device as a text lens overlay that is mapped to a portion of an object in the video recording of the first client device and follows movement of the portion of an object in the video recording created by the first client device. The server system provides, to a second client device, the video recording in combination with the media content item; and the text associated with the media content item as the text lens overlay that is mapped to the portion of the object of the first client device.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a server system associated with a media-providing service. The server system receives, from a first client device, video content created by the first client device. The server system receives, from the first client device, an indication that the video content is to be associated with a song provided by the media-providing service. The server system provides, to a second client device, the video content in combination with the song. The server system provides, to the second client device, concurrently with the video content and the song, visual display of metadata about the song, including a name of the song.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for association of a song, music, or other media content with a user's video content. The system enables a user to associate a song, music, or other media content that is associated with an audio clip and a song metadata of a media content, with a video they are about to create, or have created, to create a video moment. A recipient of the video moment can hear the audio clip in combination with the video content, and also view the song metadata overlay, to determine the name of the song and artist that was used in the video, or optionally access the song at a media server, for further listening by the recipient.

A system and method for generating dynamic playlists utilizing device co-presence proximity. In accordance with an embodiment, the method can include identifying music preferences by analyzing the listening history on a device of a user; and recognizing what devices are co-present within a set proximity for the purposes of matching such devices. In accordance with an embodiment, the system can be determine what music each individual in a group has been listening to historically, and determine when those individuals are within a certain proximity to one another, including for example analyzing the media content played on a smartphone and recognising when two smartphones are in a same location.

The invention provides an apparatus, system and method for the comparison between songs to analyse how similar each song is to the next using a new system of classification. A new and improved method and apparatus for the weighting of these comparable variables between songs in order to find the best objective criteria for finding a likeness between songs is disclosed. The time complexity associated with the computation of the optimal path for smoothing a playlist of songs is substantially reduced using the system of classification.

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for providing a live lyrics overlay in a social messaging environment. The system can utilize advances in three-dimensional mapping technology that allow social messaging services, to offer real time video lenses or overlays to their users, and extends this three-dimensional mapping technology to support for lyrics. During creation of a video with lyrics lens overlay, the lyrics corresponding to a selected song are retrieved from a lyrics source, and are displayed within the video. For example, with the lyrics lens, a user can record an image of themselves on live video, singing along to a song clip, with the lyrics of the song displayed as if they appear to be coming from their mouths. The created live lyrics content can also be shared with other users of a social messaging environment.

The invention provides a method and apparatus comprising at least one processor; at least one memory including computer program code, at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform identification of music data or other audio metadata played on an iOS device.

Embodiments of the invention are generally related to configuring a system for use with a media application, including providing task-based configuration for users of the media application. In accordance with an embodiment, the system enables a user to interact with a configuration component of a media application accessible at a media device. The system displays a plurality of tasks and an indication of a media application functionality, such as, for example, access to a personalized playlist or set of media content, offered as an incentive or reward for completion of the tasks, at a user interface of the media device. The tasks relate to one or more features of the media application, and can be used to improve the configuration of the media application for a particular user.
