A system and method is disclosed for decoupling and simulcasting metadata from digitized audio and/or video content to facilitate an on-line purchase of a copy of the content. One or more digitized audio/video content streams containing metadata are intercepted prior to being played. Metadata associated with the audio/video content within the intercepted stream is identified, decoupled, and wirelessly simulcasted by a metadata simulcaster such that it can be automatically received, stored and enacted upon by similarly enabled wireless devices to facilitate on-line purchases of the associated content, in electronic or physical form, at the present or a later time. Audio content metadata received via satellite radio is similarly intercepted by a mobile metadata simulcaster and locally simulcast via a wireless protocol such as, but not limited to, Bluetooth to similarly enabled wireless devices to facilitate on-line purchases of audio content through a wireless wide area network connection to the Internet.
