Abstract

A computing system may process a plurality of audiovisual files to determine a mapping between audio characteristics and visual characteristics. The computing system may process an audio playlist to determine audio characteristics of the audio playlist. The computing system may determine, using the mapping, visual characteristics that are complementary to the audio characteristics of the audio playlist. The computing system may search a plurality of images to find one or more image(s) that have the determined visual characteristics. The computing system may link or associate the one or more image(s) that have the determined visual characteristics to the audio playlist such that the one or more images are displayed on a screen of the computing device during playback of the audio playlist.
