Content Receiver to Tune and Segment Programming

One or more computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform acts comprising:

• receiving preference data including a wish list of content that is to be acquired by the one or more processors;
• receiving at least two content streams simultaneously;
• recognizing songs, from the wish list, within content obtained from the content streams;
• segmenting the recognized songs to locate each song in a content segment;
• annotating the content segments according to the recognizing;
• and
• storing the annotated content segments for subsequent playback.

A communications device, comprising:

• first and second hardware-defined tuners to tune first and second signals from first and second radio stations, respectively, and to generate first and second streams of digital audio data, respectively;
• at least one buffer, to buffer data comprising at least portions of the first and second streams of digital audio data;
• and
• one or more processors and memory storing a wish list of content and instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the communications device to:
• receive the first and second streams of digital audio data;
• buffer the received data;
• identify, by query to a recognition module, content within in the buffered data;
• segment the identified content to segregate instances of identified content;
• select, by a preference module, desired segmented content based at least in part on the wish list;
• annotate the selected segmented content based at least in part on the identification of the content;
• and
• store the annotated content in the memory for subsequent playback.
