    Abstract: A method performed by an accessory 104, e.g. AM/FM or high definition (HDTV) receiver, connected to portable media device (PMD) 102, comprises: determining whether a received broadcast track will be tagged, generating a tag comprising track identifying information, instructing connected PMD to open a tag file in a store, and writing the tag to the file. Also independently claimed is a similar method simply instructing the PMD to save the tag, omitting the 'file open' step. Also, a method including receiving plural tracks, with metadata, tagging a currently playing track, and instructing the PMD to open a tag file for a tag record containing a metadata portion for the current track. In addition, an accessory for a PMD, including a tag extraction engine; a method wherein a handle for a tag file is returned from media device to accessory; a method including communicating a tag identification information portion via a media asset delivery service; and a media asset access method generating an entry in a list of media assets. Further methods acquire a media asset including affiliate identifier requests that identify a referral source from which a client device obtained a unique asset (track) associated identifier.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing enhanced user interfaces and functionalities for internet radio applications are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device linked to a first user account may receive a request to share an internet radio station with a second user account, and the internet radio station may be defined based on one or more parameters associated with the first user account. Subsequently, based on modification of the one or more parameters, the internet radio station may be dynamically updated for the second user account. In some instances, the one or more parameters associated with the first user account may include information specifying one or more seed songs. In some additional instances, these parameters further may include one or more liked songs, one or more disliked songs, and one or more skipped songs.
