Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for attributing user actions to an appropriate referrer. An example system may attribute behavior of a user in an advertiser application of the advertiser to the user's selection of a promotion link presented within a user experience provided by a publisher on a client device. The example system includes a logic machine, a storage machine, and instructions stored within the storage machine executable to receive user click traffic in response to the user selecting the promotion link. The instructions are further executable to generate a token including information relating to the user click traffic, cause the advertiser application to be opened in response to the user click traffic via one or more of an instruction or application identifier that includes the token, and selectively attribute one or more user actions to the user's selection of the promotion link.

Abstract: Various embodiments relating to managing media delivery are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first request is received from a first device associated with a first account to obtain a first media content item. The first request may include an identifier indicating that the first request is an automatic request or a manual request. Information for obtaining the first media content item is sent to the first device. A second request is received from a second device associated with the first account to obtain a second media content item. The second request may include an identifier indicating that the second request is a manual request. Information for obtaining the second media content item is sent to the second device, such that obtaining the first media content item on the first device temporally overlaps obtaining the second media content item on the second device.

Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern automatically creating editorial content for albums that are to be recommended in a computerized music marketplace. An album may be selected for recommendation after analyzing consumption data (e.g., sales, downloads, samples), and popularity data (e.g., chart rankings, critical reviews). The popularity data may also include data mined from sources including search engines and social media sites. An overall recommendation score may be a weighted function of consumption data and popularity data. A customized recommendation score may be a weighted function of the overall recommendation score influenced by regional considerations, demographic considerations, and other considerations. The editorial content may include art and text and may be customized based on regional considerations, demographic considerations, and based on other art or text that will appear at the same time as the editorial content.

Abstract: Various embodiments relating to identifying an acoustic signature of an audio content item are provided. In one embodiment, an audio subsample of a test audio content item may be compared with corresponding audio subsamples of each of a plurality of catalog audio content items. If the audio subsample of the test audio content item matches the corresponding audio samples of two or more catalog audio content items, those catalog audio content items may be selected as candidate audio content items. A complete audio sample of the test audio content item may be compared to corresponding complete audio samples of each of the candidate audio content items. One of the candidate audio content items may be selected as a matching audio content item.
