The invention includes systems and methods for viewing musical selections broadcast from a radio-station. To this end the system can include a web server that generates HTML pages that contain information representative of the play list of a radio station. In one embodiment, the list is displayed in real time and the selection currently being played is highlighted on the web page. Selections that have already been played can be shown with a text field that contains the time the selection was broadcast. The web server can further comprise an interface or connection to a database that indexes music selections to a table of recordings, such as an album, CD or Video, and that further indexes the recording to an audio sample that can be downloaded over the Internet or other computer network to allow a consumer to listen and determine if the downloaded sample relates to the preferred selection of the consumer. Optionally, the web server can include a transaction server for allowing the consumer to purchase the selection or associated CD. In a further optional embodiment, the web server can allow a consumer to provide comments on the musical selections purchased broadcast. |
