Generation of Media Station Previews Using a Secondary Tuner

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• while a media playback device is playing back first content received on a first channel, determining, using a classifier, that second content received on a second channel comprises music content that is different from the first content;
• generating, using the music content, a query fingerprint based on the determining that the second content comprises the music content;
• sending the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints;
• receiving, from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint;
• and
• while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing for display at least a portion of the identifying information.

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
• while a media playback device is playing back first content received on a first channel, determining, using a classifier, that second content received on a second channel comprises music content that is different from the first content;
• generating, using the music content, a query fingerprint based on the determining that the second content comprises the music content;
• sending the query fingerprint to a server that maintains a reference database containing a plurality of reference fingerprints;
• receiving, from the server, identifying information corresponding to a reference fingerprint of the plurality of reference fingerprints that matches the query fingerprint;
• and
• while the media playback device is playing back the first content received on the first channel, providing for display at least a portion
