Abstract: A cue sheet generation system is used to compose a cue sheet for submission to PRS from an input EDL. The system parses the EDL to extract data relating to use of musical works associated with a PRS. The system employs both local and remote databases to retrieve information relating to the extracted musical work data. The information is then used to construct a cue sheet in a form appropriate for submission to a PRS.

Abstract: A search tool allows for convenient searching by employing unconventional search terms. The terms are from descriptor files, which are preferably provided by the multimedia content supplier who is familiar with the content. A user constructs a search query by selecting terms from groups of terms in categories. The user controls the search tool to display terms from various categories. The search results are displayed, along with the unconventional search terms to provide enhanced information relating to the retrieved content. The search tool further allows for the efficient export of cue sheet information for audio tracks.

Abstract: A portable storage media is configured to deliver audio content to a consumer of audio content by custom configuring the audio content on the portable storage media as well as including an interface adapted to facilitate efficient search and retrieval of the content in accordance with the custom storage attributes. The search interface is provided as part of the portable storage media to serve as a front end interface for identification and retrieval of desired content, stored on the portable media. The provision of customized content in association with a corresponding search interface enhances the operational efficiency of a production platform during the content editing and creation stages.
