Abstract
This specification describes technologies relating to a phone-based system for identifying broadcast audio streams, and methods of providing such a system. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a plurality of broadcast streams, each from a corresponding broadcast source and generating a first broadcast audio identifier based on a first broadcast stream of the plurality of broadcast streams. The method also includes storing for a selected temporary period of time the first broadcast audio identifier. The method further includes receiving a user-initiated telephone connection; and generating a user audio identifier. Other implementations of this aspect include corresponding systems, apparatus, and computer program products.
