A system and method for matching voice characteristics of a synthetic disc jockey are presented. A first segment of audio signal and a second segment of audio signal are received by a sound characteristic estimator. Corresponding first and second sets of sound characteristics are determined by the sound characteristic estimator. A voice characteristic transition for the disc jockey is interpolated from the first and second set of sound characteristics between a starting and an ending time.

Matching a synthetic disc jockey's voice characteristics to the sound characteristics of audio programs

A method includes receiving a dedication from a first user via a network and applying the dedication to a play list of a second user.

Network dedication system

A remote control device is configured to select predetermined content prior to providing the remote control device to a media consumer, and provided to the media consumer such that the media consumer associates the remote control device with the predetermined content. In one embodiment, the remote control device is configured to select at least one predetermined content and has a form that identifies the predetermined content for the media consumer.

Method and apparatus to select content

A method, apparatus, and system are provided for creating a new compound image by correcting a correlation error in a compound image. According to one embodiment, information identifying a correlation error in a compound image is received, a first constituent image and a second constituent image whose miscorrelation caused the correlation error are identified, a correlation offset of the first constituent image is ascertained, and a new compound image is created by substantially aligning the first constituent image with the second constituent image using the correlation offset.

Correcting correlation errors in a compound image

The invention, in one embodiment, is a method for correcting errors in the correlation of a first constituent image and a second constituent image transferred into a composite image at a first and a second correlation offset, respectively. The method includes identifying the first and second constituent images; ascertaining the correlation offset of at least one of the first and second images; and manually correcting the ascertained correlation offset to eliminate the error.

Correcting correlation errors in a composite image

A method of creating a Web page comprising the steps of: (a) using an application to create a file not formatted for Web viewing referred to as a source file; and (b) transmitting said source file to a print driver program, said print driver program formatting said source file in a Web format by adding and/or replacing portions of said source file with Web format commands/codes. The method wherein said Web formatted source file is stored in a location accessible by World Wide Web browsers.

World wide web formatting for program output through print function

A system and method for embedding audio titles is presented. Information encoded in a format is received about an audio program. The information is transformed into an audio signal conveying an audio description about the audio program. The audio description and the audio program are then embedded in a predetermined format.
