Apparatus, systems and methods for storing music program content events received in a content stream

A music program content storing system comprising:

• a program content stream interface configured to receive a content stream, wherein the content stream includes a plurality of serially streaming music program content events, wherein at least one of the plurality of music program content events is a music program content event of interest;
• a program buffer communicatively coupled to the program content stream interface, and configured to buffer the received plurality of music program content events;
• a processor system communicatively coupled to the program buffer, and configured to access the stored content stream in the buffer to retrieve at least an initial portion of a music program content event of interest, and configured to store the retrieved initial portion of the music program content event of interest,
• wherein the retrieved initial portion of the music program content event of interest is combined with a remaining portion of the music program content event of interest received by the program content stream interface.

A method for storing music program content events, the method comprising:

• receiving a continuous stream of at least audio content, the continuous stream including at least a first music program content event followed by an initial portion of a second music program content event;
• receiving a request to store the second music program content event;
• identifying the start of the second music program content event in the continuous stream;
• extracting the initial portion of the second music program content event from the continuous stream;
• and
• storing the initial portion of the second music program content event separately from the continuous stream based on the identified start of the requested music program content event.
