Abstract

See full text

A memory that includes data corresponding to a play list is controlled by an associated circuit that eliminates the problems created during playback by short data segments. The play list is parsed to determine whether any segments in the play list fail to exceed a threshold length. Such a segment is copied along with all or part of the next segment to create a new 'virtual' segment that exceeds the threshold length. During playback, the virtual segment is used instead of the original short segment.
