Abstract

An apparatus (100) for processing reproducible data comprises a receiving unit (103) adapted to receive reproducible data in a given order, and a processing unit (104) adapted to generate altered reproducible data by altering at least one property of received reproducible data in an at least partially random manner, wherein the alteration of at least one property is perceivable by a human sense when the altered reproducible data are reproduced in the given order.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for processing reproducible data. [0002] The invention also relates to a method of processing reproducible data. [0003] The invention also relates to program elements and computer-readable media. Background technique [0004] Today many new applications in the field of electronic entertainment equipment are developed and introduced into the market. [0005] Experience has shown that when a user has listened to a piece of audio (eg, a music song) several times, replaying the piece of music can be tiresome. [0006] In order to keep the user interested in an audio piece for a long time, it is known to play the track list of an audio player in a random order, so as to surprise or not bore the user. This functionality is commonly present on playback devices such as CD players, and is sometimes referred to as a "scramble" functionality. [0007] US 2003 / 0046638 A1 discloses a means of enhancing the value of pre-reco...
