Abstract
Systems and methods are provided to implement and facilitate cross-fading, interstitials and other effects/processing of two or more media elements in a personalized media delivery service to experience consistent high quality. The effects or crossfade processing may occur on the broadcast/publisher/server-side, but may be personalized to a specific user, allowing a personalized experience for each user, where the processing burden is minimized on the downstream side/client device. This approach enables a consistent user experience, independent of client device capabilities. A large-scale personalized content delivery service may be implemented by limiting the processing to the first and last chunks of any file. In exemplary embodiments, this type of processing may easily be accommodated in cloud computing technology, where first and last files are extracted and processed within the cloud to meet the required load. Processing may be done locally, by the broadcaster, with sufficient processing power to manage peak load.
