Abstract: A server system accesses a profile of a user of the media-providing service. The profile indicates a demographic group of the user. For each media item of a plurality of media items, the server system determines a year associated with the media item. The server system selects content for the user based at least in part on an affinity of members of the demographic group, as compared to members of other demographic groups, for content from the year associated with the media item. The server system provides the selected content to a client device associated with the user.

Abstract: A broadcast response system provides, e.g., a radio broadcast listener with the ability to obtain media content such as music or speech while listening to the radio. The user can respond to items in the radio broadcast such as advertisements, fund raising drives, or interactive listener polls during the broadcast. Data such as song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored, can be transmitted using, e.g., the RBDS/RDS data stream. A reference number representing song title and artist, author or publisher and the IP address for the location where the digital version of the content is stored can also be employed for ease of implementation. This reference number can reside in a lookup table to be accessed by broadcast response server.

Abstract: Video is multicast to a group of wireless devices as a series of video segment files containing the video frame data for a period of the video stream. After receiving a video segment file, the wireless devices report about the quality of their reception of the video segment. If a threshold percentage (or number) of wireless devices report they experienced poor reception of a video segment, the number of subframes (i.e., transmission time intervals) used in a frame to multicast the video is increased. In other words, if the number of wireless devices that report they experienced poor reception of a video segment is higher than some threshold, the number of subframes allocated to redundantly transmit the streaming video data is increased.
