A system and method for accessing audio content over a global communications network such as the Internet or the Worldwide Web that can efficiently organize and categorize audio content of interest while providing a simple user interface to access the desired audio content. The system includes a Web radio device with a simplified user interface having a plurality of pushbuttons, a wireless transmission infrastructure, a gateway device, and a Web portal coupled to back-office devices that provide the processing of a tuning engine. The tuning engine finds and downloads Web pages associated with selected audio broadcasts, extracts information pertaining to the audio content of the Web broadcasts from the Web pages, and classifies the audio content into show classification types in the tuning engine based on a web page's key words or meta-data. User configured audio content is then categorized and assigned to the respective pushbuttons of the Web radio user interface to allow the user to access the audio content by activating a single one or a minimal number of the pushbuttons.
