Abstract
An electronic device obtains a listening history for a media item, the listening history including retention information indicating, for each respective portion of a plurality of portions of the media item, a number of listeners who listened to the respective portion of the media item. The electronic device, using the retention information, determines a pattern indicating a reduction in the number of listeners who listened to corresponding portions of the media item and determines a start time and an end time corresponding to a first portion of the corresponding portions of the media item. In accordance with the determination that the first portion of the corresponding portions of the media item meets predefined sub-content criteria, the electronic device stores an indication that the first portion of the media item comprises first sub-content, different from primary content, embedded in the media item.
