Publication number: 20150161119Abstract: A real-time locater for digital media objects, related to one or more musical compositions and accessible over a network, is described. A service-provider maintains a master index of the digital media objects and a playlist-resolver server. The master index is organized by considering each media object to be an example of a primary attribute associated with the media object by a multitude of users. The reference is constructed as a data structure of primary attributes and means of locating the media objects as instances of primary attributes. The playlist-resolver works with the master index to translate a list of references to creative works into a series of successful accesses to the corresponding media object files.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2015Publication date: June 11, 2015Inventors: Roberto Warren Fisher, Chris Kalaboukis, Ronald Martinez, Ian C.
