Each audio data package includes audio content captured by a respective client device from the plurality of client devices, and location data describing a location of the respective client device when the audio content was captured. The messaging server system identifies, based on the location data included in the audio data packages, a subset of the audio data packages that include audio content captured within a predetermined geographic area. The messaging server system generates, based on the subset of the audio data packages, a playlist of audio content items for the predetermined geographic area, and provides the playlist of audio content items to at least a first client device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, using one or more processors, an audio data package from a first computing device, the audio data package comprising audio content items and location data describing a location of where each of the audio content items were captured by the first computing device; identifying, from the audio data package, a subset of the audio content items captured within a threshold distance of each other based on the location data of each audio content item; determining a number of occurrences of each audio content item within the subset of audio content items, the number of occurrences comprising a number of times the audio content is captured within a predetermined geographic area; generating a playlist of audio content items based on the subset of audio content items and the number of occurrences; and providing the playlist of audio content items to the first client device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: identifying, from the audio data package, a second subset of the audio content items captured within the threshold distance of each other based on receiving a recorded portion of each audio content item within the second subset of the audio content items from the location of where each of the audio content item were captured. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the predetermined geographic area comprises a landmark, a city, a state, or a venue. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: generating a selectable user interface element associated with the playlist of audio content items; receiving a user selection of the selectable user interface element; responsive to receiving the user selection of the selectable user interface element, streaming the playlist to a second client device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, wherein the selectable user interface element comprises an icon, image overlay, or media content item. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: associating a second predetermined geographic area with the threshold number of occurrences of each audio content item. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the second predetermined geographic area comprises an event within the threshold distance based on the location data of each audio content item. ### Claim 8 A system comprising: a processor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to perform operations comprising: receiving, using one or more processors, an audio data package from a first computing device, the audio data package comprising audio content items and location data describing a location of where each of the audio content items were captured by the first computing device; identifying, from the audio data package, a subset of the audio content items captured within a threshold distance of each other based on the location data of each audio content item; determining a number of occurrences of each audio content item within the subset of audio content items, the number of occurrences comprising a number of times the audio content is captured within a predetermined geographic area; generating a playlist of audio content items based on the subset of audio content items and the number of occurrences; and providing the playlist of audio content items to the first client device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further configure the apparatus to: identify, from the audio data package, a second subset of the audio content items captured within the threshold distance of each other based on receiving a recorded portion of each audio content item within the second subset of the audio content items from the location of where each of the audio content item were captured. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the predetermined geographic area comprises a landmark, a city, a state, or a venue. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further configure the system to performing operations comprising: generating a selectable user interface element associated with the playlist of audio content items; receiving a user selection of the selectable user interface element; responsive to receiving the user selection of the selectable user interface element, streaming the playlist to a second client device. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The system of claim 11, wherein the selectable user interface element comprises an icon, image overlay, or media content item. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the instructions further configure the system to performing operations comprising: associating a second predetermined geographic area with the threshold number of occurrences of each audio content item. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the second predetermined geographic area comprises an event within the threshold distance based on the location data of each audio content item. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising: receiving, using one or more processors, an audio data package from a first computing device, the audio data package comprising audio content items and location data describing a location of where each of the audio content items were captured by the first computing device; identifying, from the audio data package, a subset of the audio content items captured within a threshold distance of each other based on the location data of each audio content item; determining a number of occurrences of each audio content item within the subset of audio content items, the number of occurrences comprising a number of times the audio content is captured within a predetermined geographic area; generating a playlist of audio content items based on the subset of audio content items and the number of occurrences; and providing the playlist of audio content items to the first client device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions further configure the computer to perform operations comprising: identifying, from the audio data package, a second subset of the audio content items captured within the threshold distance of each other based on receiving a recorded portion of each audio content item within the second subset of the audio content items from the location of where each of the audio content item were captured. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the predetermined geographic area comprises a landmark, a city, a state, or a venue. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions further configure the computer to perform operations comprising: generating a selectable user interface element associated with the playlist of audio content items; receiving a user selection of the selectable user interface element; responsive to receiving the user selection of the selectable user interface element, streaming the playlist to a second client device. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the instructions further configure the computer to perform operations comprising: associating a second predetermined geographic area with the threshold number of occurrences of each audio content item. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the second predetermined geographic area comprises an event within the threshold distance based on the location data of each audio content item.
