Abstract: A media distribution system has a media classification file that associates characteristics with each of a plurality of media clips, a control mechanism for receiving desired media characteristics from the user, and a goal seeking engine for selecting select media clips from the plurality of media clips based upon the characteristics of each of the plurality of media clips. A real-time feedback receiving mechanism receives modifications to the desired media characteristics while the select media clips are being presented, and the goal seeking engine functions to re-select the select media clips in real-time from the plurality of media clips in response to the modifications to the desired media characteristics.

Abstract: A media distribution system includes a plurality of media clips that each includes at least one media personality. A media classification file defines a personality media selection parameter that includes a list of the media personalities included in the plurality of media clips. A database functions to associate each of the plurality of media clips with at least one of the media personalities, and a time-length of each of the plurality of media clips. A goal seeking engine receives a desired media personality, and a desired play length, and functions to choose select media clips from the plurality of media clips that together include the media personality and the sum of the time-lengths of the select media clips approximately equals the desired play length.

Abstract: A method for playing media based upon feedback from a user using a media system for the selective playing of media clips based upon feedback collected from a user includes a storage device electronically storing at least one media file and a media organization file. The media organization file includes at least two media selection parameters, each of the at least two media selection parameters having a number of media descriptions, and a database that associates each of a number of media clips with at least one of the media descriptions. The media system further includes an interface program for receiving at least two desired media descriptions from the user, a goal seeking engine for selecting a number of suitable media clips from the media clips based upon the at least two desired media descriptions, and a media player for playing the suitable media clips.
