1. A media guidance system comprising:
- a data store including audio asset information associated with a plurality of known audio assets,user equipment configured to i) receive a video program including one or more audio assets, ii) display the video program, iii) display a user interface, and iv) receive a user input using the user interface,a processor configured to i) receive the user input including a request to identify an audio asset playing within the video program, ii) identify the audio asset by processing data associated with the audio asset and data within the data store, iii) provide audio asset information associated with the identified audio asset to the user interface for display, iv) receive a plurality of requests to identify the audio asset, v) store an indication of each request, vi) determine that a threshold number of requests has been received, vii) identify a second user viewing the video program who has not requested to identify the audio asset, and viii) automatically provide the audio asset information to the second user when the audio asset is playing.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying audio using a media guidance application where a video program that includes one or more audio assets is received by user equipment. The user initiates a request to identify an audio asset playing within the video program and the audio asset is identified by processing data associated with the audio asset and data within a database of audio asset information associated with a plurality of known audio assets. The audio asset information associated with the identified audio asset is then provided to a user interface for display.

26. A method for identifying audio using a media guidance application, the method comprising:
-
receiving a video program that includes one or more audio assets, receiving user input including a request to identify an audio asset playing within the video program, identifying the audio asset by processing data associated with the audio asset and data within a data store, wherein the data store includes audio asset information associated with a plurality of known audio assets, providing audio asset information associated with the identified audio asset to a user interface for display, receiving a plurality of requests to identify the audio asset, storing an indication of each request, determining that a threshold number of requests has been received, identifying a second user viewing the video program who has not requested to identify the audio asset, and automatically providing the audio asset information to the second user when the audio asset is playing. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
