Abstract
A method of generating media content is described which comprises capturing still or moving image content items at a capture device and uploading the captured image content items and image content metadata indicating a time of capture of each of the image content items to a network. A playback log indicating playback times of audio content items listened to by the user of the capture device is stored. One or more of the captured image content items is correlated with one or more portions of the playback log based on the time of capture indicated by the metadata relating to the one or more captured content items and the playback times indicated by the playback log. A media output is generated as a collection of a plurality of the captured image content items stored at the network accompanied by audio content related to the portion of the playback log which is correlated with the captured image content items in the collection. In this way, a media output can be generated at a network, such as a cloud network, from user generated image content and commercial audio content which the user who captured the image content was listening to at the time the image content was captured.
