    Abstract: A system and method are provided for enabling a plurality of media feeds, such as internet radio stations, to be played through a standard media player, such as a radio receiving device, using the tuning or input selection controls of the media player to control the selection of which media feed to play. Identification signatures are added to channels and transmitted to the media player by transmitter. A controller captures the feedback of the media player and, if it detects one of the signature signals in the feedback, instructs the media feed selector to select a media feed which corresponds to the detected identification signature. The selected audio feed may then be transmitted to the media player on the corresponding channel for playback.

    Abstract: Media monitoring using multiple types of signatures is disclosed. Example methods disclosed herein include, in response to determining that a media signature of a first type reported by a device meter matched a reference signature of the first type associated with first reference media, sending a first indication to the device meter to indicate that media monitored by the device meter corresponds to the first reference media, and sending a set of reference signatures of a second type associated with the first reference media to the device meter. Disclosed example methods also include receiving a second indication from the device meter indicating that the media monitored by the device meter no longer corresponds to the first reference media, and in response to receiving the second indication, processing subsequent media signatures of the first type reported by the device meter to identify the media being monitored by the device meter.
