    摘要: A method includes generating a dynamic audio file configured to be added to a conventional media library as a static asset, but including dynamic primary content. Generating the file includes inserting audio content formatted for processing and playout by conventional media players. The audio content includes an audible preamble at a beginning of the audio content, and primary content. Generating the file also includes inserting a tag associated with the dynamic portion of the primary content and a content start indicator. The tag specifies a source address used by an updater application to retrieve updated primary audio content. The content start indicator specifies a starting point of the primary content within the dynamic audio file, and is used by the updater application to strip the audible preamble from the dynamic audio file during the update process.

    摘要: A media receiver identifies attributes of a media station to which the media receiver is currently tuned. The media receiver monitors the signal quality of the media station. If the signal quality of the media station drops below a quality threshold, the receiver chooses an alternate station having similar content, and then tunes to the alternate station until the signal quality of the original station improves. When the signal quality of the original station rises above a re-tune threshold, the receiver can switch back to the original station. The receiver can monitor and record user listening patterns, station-switching patterns, and situational parameters, to identify times or locations at which station switches occur. This information can be used to select appropriate alternative stations, to perform pre-emptive station switches, and to determine when a station's content will be buffered with the expectation that a station's signal will drop below the quality threshold.
