Abstract
A method, device and application for combining one or more multimedia content sources (e.g., songs) together and rendering the composite output to a user in a user sensible format that is audibly pleasing to the user through a player. A first multimedia content source and a second multimedia content source is selected. An analysis is made of the sources to find at least one candidate from each source to mix together. At least one candidate from each source is selected. The beat length associated with each the selected candidate is set and adjusted, if necessary. A fade mixing profile is selected. The fade mix profile adjusts a volume parameter associated with the selected candidate from each source over a transition period of time. The selected candidate from each source together is mixed according to the fade mixing profile to transition over the transition period time between the first multimedia content source and the second multimedia content source to form a beat mix transition. The beat mix transition is rendered between the first multimedia content source and the second multimedia content source.
