ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for playback conflict detection. In one embodiment, the invention determines a time interval for the playback of the isosynchronous data object, said time interval including both a beginning time and a duration, and determines whether any calendar event falls at least partially within the time interval for playback. The invention may be initiated by opening the isosynchronous data object for playback. The user who requested the playback will be notified of any potential conflict between the complete playback of the data object and any events scheduled on the user's electronic calendar.
