Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling sharing of audio feeds. One method includes receiving, from a user over a network, a request to add an audio feed to a collection managed by the user; storing, in a database, a URL of the audio feed in relation to the collection; receiving, from the user over the network, a request to share the collection; and generating an RSS URL of the collection by searching the database for URLs of audio feeds stored in relation to the collection.

Claims (48)

1. A computer-implemented method for enabling sharing of audio data, the method including:

receiving, over a network, a request to add audio data to a set of audio data;

storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio data in relation to the set of audio data;

receiving, over the network, a request to share the set of audio data; and

generating a sharable location indicator of the set of audio data by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

adding to the set of audio data an advertisement based on content of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the audio data is a podcast.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, over the network, a request to add a second audio data to the set of audio data, wherein the second audio data has a subject matter similar to a subject matter of the first audio data.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, over the network, a request to add a second audio data to the set of audio data, wherein the second audio data is hosted by an entity different from an entity that hosts the first audio data.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, over the network, a request to create a set of audio data, the request including at least one of a name of the set of audio data and ID of the set of audio data.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying a list of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying to the user an RSS URL of the set of audio data by searching the database for URLs of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

enabling the user to send a third party an RSS URL of the set of audio data by searching the database for URLs of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

10. A system for enabling sharing of audio data, the system including:

a data storage device storing instructions for enabling sharing of audio data;

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:

receiving, over a network, a request to add audio data to a set of audio data;

storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio data in relation to the set of audio data;

receiving, over the network, a request to share the set of audio data; and

generating a sharable location indicator of the set of audio data by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

adding to the set of audio data an advertisement based on content of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the audio data is a podcast.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

receiving, over the network, a request to add a second audio data to the set of audio data, wherein the second audio data has a subject matter similar to a subject matter of the first audio data.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

receiving, over the network, a request to add a second audio data to the set of audio data, wherein the second audio data is hosted by an entity different from an entity that hosts the first audio data.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

receiving, over the network, a request to create a set of audio data, the request including at least one of a name of the set of audio data and ID of the set of audio data.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

displaying to the user an RSS URL of the set of audio data by searching the database for URLs of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to perform the method further including:

enabling the user to send a third party an RSS URL of the set of audio data by searching the database for URLs of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of enabling sharing of audio data, the method including:

receiving, over a network, a request to add audio data to a set of audio data;

storing, in a database, a location indicator of the audio data in relation to the set of audio data;

receiving, over the network, a request to share the set of audio data; and

generating a sharable location indicator of the set of audio data by searching the database for one or more location indicators of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , further comprising:

adding to the set of audio data an advertisement based on content of audio data stored in relation to the set of audio data.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the audio data is a podcast.
