1. A mobile interactive radio for wireless communication with a wireless system using asynchronous audio program data, wherein said audio program data is substantially continuous, said radio comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a first portion of said audio program data as one or more digitized packets, and subsequently receiving a second portion of said audio program data as one or more digitized packets;
a converter for converting said first received portion of said audio program data to an analog audio signal; and
an amplifier for making audible said analog audio signal, wherein said receiver receives said second portion of said audio program data after said converter has converted said first received portion of said audio program data.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for providing asynchronous audio data to a mobile interactive radio are provided. A method for transmitting audio data includes receiving identification data from a subscriber and, in response to that identification data, transmitting asynchronous audio data to an authorized subscriber via a wireless communications system. The radio includes a receiver for receiving audio data, a converter for converting the data to an analog signal, and an amplifier for making audible that signal.

20. A method for transmitting asynchronous audio program data to at least one mobile interactive radio via a wireless system, wherein said audio program data is substantially continuous, said radio having a corresponding subscriber and a subscriber ID, said method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving ID data comprising said subscriber ID and an audio ID corresponding to said audio program data; transmitting a first portion of said audio program data in a packet format to said radio via said wireless system, wherein said radio converts said first portion of said audio program data to audible form; transmitting a second portion of said audio program data in said packet format to said radio via said wireless system after said radio has converted said first portion of said audio program data to audible form. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
