Abstract
A portable music device (PMD) for capturing song tags while monitoring a broadcast (via Internet or radio), either on the PMD (either via an Internet connection or via a built-in FM radio receiver), or on a nearby radio (by detecting the station to which the nearby radio is tuned). The user can use the captured song tags to download song files, either on the Internet or in a physical music shop. Song tags may be ID3-type tags modified to include a link to a web address of a server for downloading songs. The PMD may also store credits for paying for the songs, and may include a contactless interface for secure payment.
