Abstract

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can provide an interface for associating selected musical content with visual content to be shared through a social networking system. A main playback scrubber for navigating to different parts of the selected musical content can be provided in the interface. A precision playback scrubber for identifying a portion of the selected musical content to be associated with the visual content being shared can be provided in the interface with more precision than the main playback scrubber.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing, by a computing device, an interface to associate musical content with visual content;
providing, by the computing device, a main playback scrubber in the interface to navigate to different parts of the musical content;
providing, by the computing device, a precision playback scrubber in the interface to identify a portion of the musical content to be associated with the visual content with more precision than the main playback scrubber;
determining, by the computing device, the musical content to be associated with the visual content based on the main playback scrubber and the precision playback scrubber, the determining further comprising:
identifying, by the computing device, a part of the musical content based on a position associated with the main playback scrubber; and
determining, by the computing device, a selected length of the musical content that corresponds to the identified part based on the precision playback scrubber, wherein the selected length is shorter than a length of the musical content;

in response to a determination that at least a portion of the identified part of the musical content is associated with a tagged segment of the musical content, providing, by the computing device, the precision playback scrubber comprising a continuous boundary to visually indicate that the tagged segment of the musical content is selected, wherein the tagged segment is a portion of the musical content; and
associating, by the computing device, the determined musical content with the visual content.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the main playback scrubber is traversable across a fixed length bar that represents an entire length of the musical content.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the precision playback scrubber provides a magnified representation of an entire length of the musical content, wherein the precision playback scrubber is able to be scrolled to any given second of the musical content.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the tagged segment is associated with information describing the identified part of the musical content as particular lyrics.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the tagged segment is associated with information describing the identified part of the musical content as a chorus.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the tagged segment is associated with information describing the identified part of the musical content as content that is popular among users of a content provider system.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the interface presents lyrics corresponding to the identified part of the musical content.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
sharing, by the computing device, the visual content and the musical content associated with the visual content through a content provider system, wherein the musical content is played when the visual content is accessed.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the visual content corresponds to an image, a video, or a looping video.

10. A system comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform:
providing an interface to associate musical content with visual content;
providing a main playback scrubber in the interface to navigate to different parts of the musical content;
providing a precision playback scrubber in the interface to identify a portion of the musical content to be associated with the visual content with more precision than the main playback scrubber;
determining the musical content to be associated with the visual content based on the main playback scrubber and the precision playback scrubber, the determining further comprising:
identifying a part of the musical content based on a position associated with the main playback scrubber; and
determining a selected length of the musical content that corresponds to the identified part based on the precision playback scrubber, wherein the selected length is shorter than a length of the musical content;

in response to a determination that at least a portion of the identified part of the musical content is associated with a tagged segment of the musical content, providing the precision playback scrubber comprising a continuous boundary to visually indicate that the tagged segment of the musical content is selected, wherein the tagged segment is a portion of the musical content; and
associating the determined musical content with the visual content.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the main playback scrubber is traversable across a fixed length bar that represents an entire length of the musical content.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the precision playback scrubber provides a magnified representation of an entire length of the musical content, wherein the precision playback scrubber is able to be scrolled to any given second of the musical content.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the tagged segment is associated with information describing the identified part of the musical content as particular lyrics.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the tagged segment is associated with information describing the identified part of the musical content as a chorus.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:
providing an interface to associate musical content with visual content;
providing a main playback scrubber in the interface to navigate to different parts of the musical content;
providing a precision playback scrubber in the interface to identify a portion of the musical content to be associated with the visual content with more precision than the main playback scrubber;
determining the musical content to be associated with the visual content based on the main playback scrubber and the precision playback scrubber, the determining further comprising:
identifying a part of the musical content based on a position associated with the main playback scrubber; and
determining a selected length of the musical content that corresponds to the identified part based on the precision playback scrubber, wherein the selected length is shorter than a length of the musical content;

in response to a determination that at least a portion of the identified part of the musical content is associated with a tagged segment of the musical content, providing the precision playback scrubber comprising a continuous boundary to visually indicate that the tagged segment of the musical content is selected, wherein the tagged segment is a portion of the musical content; and
associating the determined musical content with the visual content.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the main playback scrubber is traversable across a fixed length bar that represents an entire length of the musical content.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the precision playback scrubber provides a magnified representation of an entire length of the musical content, wherein the precision playback scrubber is able to be scrolled to any given second of the musical content.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein th
