1. A system for delivery of personalized audio services, comprising:
- a first microphone that captures audio;
a voice controlled interface coupled to the first microphone that detects a voice command in the audio;
a communication module for accessing information from a network in response to the detected voice command so as to provide results from accessing the network;
a memory for storing a listening history envelope; and
a processor that;
modifies the results based on the detected voice command and the listening history envelope, wherein the results are modified based upon uploading the listening history envelope to a server via a network connection that is established after interrogating a plurality of communication platforms for an available connection;
provides content associated with the results;
receives an indication to place the auditioned content in a hold status; and
stores the auditioned content in the memory for a defined period of time based on the hold status; and
displays the auditioned content associated with the hold status via a uniform resource locator address.

13. A method for delivery of personalized audio services, comprising:
-
capturing audio from a first microphone; detecting a voice command from the captured audio using a voice controlled interface; accessing information from a network in response to the detected voice command to provide results obtained from accessing the network; retrieving a listening history envelope from a memory; modifying the results obtained from accessing the network based on the detected voice command, and the listening history envelope, wherein the results are modified based upon uploading the listening history envelope to a server via a network connection that is established after interrogating a plurality of communication platforms for an available connection; providing content associated with the results; receiving an indication to place the auditioned content in a hold status; and storing the auditioned content in the memory for a defined period of time based on the hold status; and displaying the auditioned content associated with the hold status via a uniform resource locator address. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A personal audio assistant comprising:
-
a first microphone and a second microphone for stereo acoustic input and capturing audio; a communication module for accessing information from a network and providing media content recommendations from determined shared attributes; a memory storage unit for storing information related to the shared attributes; a voice controlled interface to direct a search of the network in response to detection of voice commands in the audio; and a processor for; mixing media content obtained from the search with ambient sounds captured by the first microphone, and delivering, to acoustic transducers, an enhanced perceptual sound quality of the media content, wherein the processor further modifies results obtained based on accessing the information from the network, wherein the results are modified based upon uploading a listening history envelope to a server via a network connection that is established after interrogating a plurality of communication platforms for an available connection; providing content associated with the results; receiving an indication to place the auditioned content in a hold status; and storing the auditioned content in the memory for a defined period of time based on the hold status; and displaying the auditioned content associated with the hold status via a uniform resource locator address. - View Dependent Claims (20)
