Music can positively affect game play and help players to understand underlying patterns in the game, or the effects of their actions on the characters. Conversely, inappropriate music can have a negative effect on players. While game makers recognize the effects of music on game play, solutions that provide users with a choice in personal music have not been forthcoming. I designed and evaluated an algorithm for automatically adapting any music track from a personal library so that is plays at the same rate as the user plays the game. I accomplish this without access to the video game's souce code, allowing deployment with any game and no modifications to the system.
