Abstract
The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for synchronizing content items with future events, for example, by dynamically modifying content item playlists. The systems and methods may identify a playlist and a future time at which a time-sensitive content item is to be played. The systems and methods may determine an estimated time of playback of the time-sensitive content item in the playlist and may modify, based on detecting a difference between the estimated time of playback and the identified future time, the playlist to achieve playback of the time-sensitive content item at the identified future time. The systems and methods may modify the playlist by modifying one or more durations of the content items in the playlist based on a plurality of modifiability scores.
