Abstract
A method of processing audio signals in which an audio signature of a primary audio stream is compared to a set of audio signatures corresponding to a series of separate audio clips is disclosed. One of the audio clips from the series of separate audio clips is selected for insertion into the primary audio stream such that the selected audio clip has an audio signature that most closely matches the audio signature of the primary audio stream. The matching and selecting steps are performed by at least one signal processing electronic device.
