67. A method of encoding audio data for gathering data reflecting receipt of and/or exposure to the audio data, comprising:
-
forming a database having a plurality of reference signature data sets, each of which signatures characterizes identified audio data;
grouping the reference signature data sets into a plurality of signature data groups; and
encoding audio data to be monitored with data denoting one of the signature data groups. - View Dependent Claims (68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82)

83. A system for encoding audio data for gathering data reflecting receipt of and/or exposure to the audio data, comprising:
-
a database having a plurality of signature data groups, each of which groups has at least one reference signature data set, each of which signature data sets characterizes identified audio data; and
an encoder to encode audio data to be monitored with data denoting one of the signature data groups. - View Dependent Claims (84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98)
