Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and systems according to the disclosure are for obtaining information for a music track on a radio broadcast and may include storing track information received from an information service in a data storage module. When an intermediary server receives a request from an end-user device for information for a particular music track playing on a particular radio broadcast signal, the server first checks the data storage module to determine if it has music track information for the particular music track. If so, the server provides that music track information to the end-user device. The intermediary server may be configured to automatically and preemptively request information from the music information service each time a new music track is played on a radio broadcast signal. The intermediary server may be configured to request information from the music information service the first time it receives a request for that particular music track.
