  • Publication number: 20110078020
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing audio asset information are presented. A media guidance system includes a data store containing audio asset information associated with a set of known audio assets. The media guidance system receives a number of requests to identify an audio asset embedded within a video program from a first group of users and stores an indication of the requested audio asset within the data store. The media guidance system then provides audio asset information associated with the requested audio asset to a second group of users.
