Personalized media is generated by obtaining a master clip having
predefined insert points, obtaining an insert clip, seamlessly merging
the insert clip into the selected master clip to generate a personalized
media clip with undetectable transitions between spliced clips. An insert
clip is utilized for purposes of adding variables such as a name, place,
time, gender, product name or any other desirable information to a master
clip. Dynamic context data may be added and transmitted to a client
playback device. This distribution process may be in real-time or
asynchronous until requested. The playback device may use the clip for
ring tone, ringback tone or voice message or any other purpose. Although
the contents of the master clip and/or the insert clip may use any voice
including the originator's voice, celebrity voices or the voices of
celebrity impersonators may be utilized. The master clip and insert clip
may be seamlessly merged using uncompressed or compressed data in given
formats.
