Abstract
A content manager receives digital content. The content manager modifies original digital content in accordance with a set of effects to produce modified digital content. Application of the set of effects modifies how the digital content is subsequently played back by one or more media player applications. In addition to applying effect, the content manager creates metadata identifying the set of effects applied to the original digital content to produce the modified digital content. The content manager then initiates distribution of the modified digital content and the corresponding metadata over a network. The metadata associated with the digital content identifies the set of effects applied to the received digital content prior to the distribution. Accordingly, other entities in a network environment can identify which effects have been applied to a corresponding set of digital content.
