Abstract
A radio signal including a plurality of audio segments is transmitted. Responsive to a user selection of at least one of the audio segments at a first location that receives the radio signal, such as a mobile terminal or other radio receiver, information related to the at least one of the audio segments is transmitted to a second location, such as an electronic mailbox. The radio signal may include an audio descriptor of a content item, such as a headline, abstract and/or sample of the item, and transmitting information related to the at least one of the audio segments to a second location may include transmitting the content item and/or a link thereto.
