| Abstract | The Internet and mobile phones allow customizing media content individually. In case of a radio program, beside a good selection of content, the acoustic and semantic quality of the transitions between pieces of audio material also play a significant role influencing the listening experience. Our goal is to automate radio program editing for individually customized (Internet) radio programmes, containing both pieces of speech and music. This paper deals with the acoustic features of speech to music transitions. In the course of the study, based on professionally edited, authentic radio programmes, a set of audio test data -- pairs of speech and music -- was selected and specially prepared. A subjective opinion test with a group of users for rating the quality of the transitions was conducted and acoustic features were extracted from both the pieces of speech and music. The collected data was analysed using data mining methods. The first analysis compared data from the subjective opinion test with data from professional editors. The correlation was found to be significant, i.e., potential listeners had similar judgements to those of professional radio editors. The central, second analysis aimed at predicting the subjective acoustic quality of a speech to music transition based on automatically extractable features of speech and music. The attributes found to be significantly influencing the acoustic quality are related to the tempo and Mel spectrum values. The numeric quality of the match can be predicted with a cross-correlation of 0.55 and the digitised quality with a performance of 75%. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
