Abstract

System and method for creating clips of larger audio streams based on very accurate in point and out point and for searching for the clips. The system and method use byte signatures in MP3 or media files to accurately and efficiently find a specific cue point, such as for example, the beginning of a sentence in a podcast. The system and method are configured to search and locate a given clip even if that sequence moves inside the stream, such as for example, if the audio file adds additional content like advertisements or other audio sequence, the hash representation of the cue point can still be found with millisecond accuracy.
