Abstract

A music system selects a music library containing multiple music albums, in which each music album contains multiple songs. The system identifies listener preferences associated with a first listener and identifies listener preferences associated with a second listener. A music schedule is generated which contains multiple songs acceptable to both the first listener and the second listener. The music system then plays songs from the music schedule. The listener preferences may include ratings of music albums and ratings of songs contained in the music library.
