ABSTRACT:
A radio program distribution system for creating custom recordings containing a requested plurality of musical programs. The system stores digital copies of musical programs and can selectively copy the programs onto custom recordings. Each participating broadcaster transmits program information to the system about each broadcasted program, and the system creates an entry in a database identifying the program, the time, the date and the broadcaster of each broadcast by a participating broadcaster. The system is connected to a telephone network, allowing customers to call into the system and request a custom recording containing desired musical programs. The customer requests which musical programs are desired by giving the time, date and broadcaster of when the program was heard on the radio. The system allows a customer to hear a preview of each requested program, choose programs broadcast temporally close to a requested time, choose from a menu programs similar to a requested program, and select the radio station from a menu. The system creates a custom recording and ships it to the customer.
