Abstract: A system converts a readable digital magazine into an audible digital magazine by generating an audio playlist of audio files corresponding to textual content items of the digital magazine. The system monitors a user's interactions with content items on a page of the digital magazine, where the content items include textual content items. Upon detecting a request from the user for audio files corresponding to the textual content items, the requested audio files are searched and retrieved. In response to not finding the requested audio files ready for playback, the textual content items are obtained and converted into the requested audio files. An audio playlist of the requested audio files is generated for presentation to the user of the digital magazine in response to the request.
