Abstract
Audio item(s) that may be of interest to a user can be selected from a larger collection of audio items. The audio items of interest may be identified by concurrently generating audio from each item in the collection. The audio generated from individual items in the collection may be generated such that the audio is audibly and selectably differentiable from the audio generated from other items in the collection. A user-input may be detected that corresponds to a selection of a subset of the audio items. A user-input may be detected that modifies characteristics of the audio presentation in space and/or volume. A correlation between the input and the selected audio may be made through characteristics that are incorporated into the selected audio when that audio is made distinguishable.
