Abstract
The present invention concerns a method for transmitting audio information to a receiver, in which first audio information is transmitted from a first source to the receivertogether with other information comprising addressing data and a data signal dependent on the addressing data is selectively transmitted from the receiver to a service provider. The data signal received at the service provider is matched with respective further audio information and the respective further audio information is then transmitted from a second source to the receiver. Thus, a web of recursively linked audio material may selectively be provided to a user of the receiver.

A method for transmitting audio information to a receiver, comprising:
- electronically transmitting from a first source to the receiver first audio information together with other information comprising addressing data;
- converting the first audio information to an audio signal at the receiver;
- selectively transmitting from the receiver to a service provider a data signal dependent on the addressing data;
- matching the data signal received at the service provider with respective further audio information;
- transmitting the respective further audio information from a second source to the receiver;
- and
- converting the further audio information to an audio signal at the receiver.
A system for transmitting audio information to a receiver, comprising:
- a first source for transmitting to the receiver first audio information together with other information comprising addressing data;
- means at the receiver for converting the first audio information to an audio signal;
- means at the receiver selectively operable for transmitting to a service provider a data signal dependent on the addressing data;
- comparing means for matching the data signal received at the service provider with respective further audio information;
