Embodiment Construction

[0022] Figure 1 shows a personal audio recording device 10 according to the present invention and other devices to be connected or wirelessly communicated therewith. Audio recording device 10 includes one or more hard drives or other storage devices 12 on which audio recordings are saved for later playback. In the preferred embodiment, the audio recording is stored in digital form and preferably includes at least one digital-to-analog converter 14 for outputting the audio recording to other devices. However, the invention can be used with other devices capable of receiving digital audio signals, so the digital audio converter 14 is not necessary.

[0023] The operation of the recording device 10 is controlled by an operating controller 16, which may be a microprocessor, such as an ARM9E from Arm Limited (Cambridge, UK). The operation controller 16 may be a separate device that performs only the functions of controlling operations and responding to control signals received fro...

Abstract

Broadcast music, or other audio that a user wants to hear, is recorded based on criteria obtained from a user. Any of a plurality of techniques may be used to identify the audio, alone or in combination with other identification techniques, including length of song, fingerprint recognition of digital or analog audio, scheduled programming, or metadata transmitted in the same or an adjacent channel or frequency. The criteria used to determine whether to save a recording may be based on attributes included in the identification database, such as artist, genre, popularity, station programming, year, signal quality, etc. The audio selected by a user for listening may be recorded, or a programmable tuner or other input selector may automatically record desired music regardless of whether the music is being output for listening. The audio recorded may be obtained from any source, including analog and digital radio, Internet radio streams and removable pre-recorded media.

ROBERTS et al., which is incorporated herein by reference . technical field [0003] The present invention is directed to a system that simplifies the process of recording audio, with or without video, from any available source, including analog or Digital radio broadcasting, digital streams over the Internet and removable media. Background technique [0004] The number of ways in which people can listen to audio produced elsewhere continues to increase. Decades ago, mass market consumers could rely on a single device capable of listening to radio stations or playing records. Records are easily selected by making markings on the record label, or on the jacket, cover slip, or casing in which the record is stored. In most places, the num...
