Managing playback of supplemental information

A computer-implemented method for playback of supplemented audio information to a user, wherein the supplemented audio information comprises a primary audio content and one or more items of supplemental audio information, and wherein each item of supplemental audio information is associated with at least one playback position within at least one of the primary audio content and one of the one or more items of supplemental audio information, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• under control of one or more computing devices,
• causing output of the primary audio content via an output device;
• determining that one of the one or more items of supplemental audio information is associated with a current playback position within the primary audio content being output via the output device;
• obtaining input from the user via an input device indicating that the determined item of supplemental audio information should be played;
• and
• causing output of the determined item of supplemental audio information via the output device.

A system for outputting supplemental audio information, the system comprising:

• one or more data stores that store audio content and one or more items of supplemental audio information, wherein each of the one or more items of supplemental audio information is associated with one or more playback positions within the at least one of the audio content and one of the one or more items of supplemental audio information;
• a processor in communication with the data store, the processor operative to:
• cause output of audio content via an output device;
• obtain input from the user via an input device indicating that the determined item of supplemental audio information should be played;
• determine one of the one or more items of supplemental audio information associated with a current playback position within the audio content being output via the output device;
• cause output of the determined item of supplemental audio information via the output device.

A computer readable, non-transitory storage medium having at least one computer-executable module for providing supplemental audio information, the at least one computer-executable module comprising:

• a supplemental audio information module operative to:
• cause output of a primary audio content, wherein the primary audio content is associated with one or more items of supplemental audio information, and wherein each of the one or more items of supplemental audio information is associated with one or more playback positions within the at least one of the audio content and one of the one or more items of supplemental audio information;
• obtain input indicating that the determined item of supplemental audio information should be played;
• determine one or more items of supplemental audio information associated with a current playback position within the primary audio content;
• and
• cause output of the determined item of supplemental audio information.
