Apparatus, system, and method for integrating content and content services

A method for integrating passive content discovery from directed broadcasts, including radio broadcasts, with request-based content delivery systems comprising:

• delivering, from a central computer server, a media broadcast to a web enabled device, the media broadcast including a plurality of media content, wherein the media broadcast is configured to allow an external operator to select a first media content from the plurality of media content to be played by the web enabled device;
• receiving, by the central computer server, a tag from a user via a user interface of a client application, the tag associated with the first media content;
• receiving a mode of consumption preference for the user from at least one of:
• a user preferences database operatively coupled with the central computer server;
• or
• user input received through the client application associated with the central computer server;
• determining, based at least in part on the mode of consumption preference, a first access mode for the first media content, the first access mode including any of:
• streaming playlist;
• or
• downloading content to a user digital storage drive;
• determining, based at least in part on the mode of consumption preference, a mode of consumption path for the first media content, wherein the consumption path includes an external media content delivery service;
• and
• transmitting instructions, by the central computer server, to the determined consumption path to access the first media content according to the determined first access mode.

• a central computer server configured to deliver a media broadcast to a web enabled device, the media broadcast including a plurality of media content, wherein the media broadcast is configured to allow an external operator to select
• a first media content from the plurality of media content to be played on the web enabled device;
• a user preferences database communicatively coupled with the central computer server;
• and
• a client application operating on the web enabled device, and communicatively coupled with the central computer server and the user preferences database, the client application configured to receive tags from a user via a user interface, the tag associated with the first media content, the first media content included in the plurality of media content in the media broadcast;
• wherein the central computer server is configured to receiving a mode of consumption preference for the user from of the user preferences database or the client application and determine based at least in part on the mode of consumption preference:
• a first access mode for the media content, the first access mode including any of:
• streaming playlist;
• or
• downloading content to a user digital storage drive;
• and
• a mode of consumption path for the first media content, wherein the consumption path includes an external media content delivery service;
• and
• wherein the central computer is further includes instructions to transmit instructions to the determined consumption path to access the first media content according to the determined first access mode.
