An accessory communicates 'with a PMD to store tags associated with broadcasts in a file maintained in a storage medium of the HPMD. Each time the user requests a new tag, the accessory generates a tag containing information descriptive of the broadcast material (e.g., song title, artist,.radio station identifier, time of tagging, etc.) and writes the tag to the tag file. The PMD communicates a portion of the information from one or more tags to an information delivery service. The PMD receives information from the information delivery service in response and presents it to the user.
