Claim 16:
17. A method of identifying radio stations playing in proximity to user mobile devices comprising:
sampling a plurality of radio station audible audio from a plurality of known radio stations, thereby generating sample audible audio segments;
tagging each sample audible audio segment with a broadcast region;
receiving, from a first user device, a GPS location and recorded audio of a contemporaneous radio station broadcast, the contemporaneous radio station broadcast from a first radio station;
identifying the first radio station based on a comparison of the recorded audio to sample audible audio segments from the plurality of known radio stations tagged with a broadcast region consistent with the GPS location; and
determining, based on a timestamp of the ambient radio station audible audio and the first radio station, a unique identification for a purchase of a non-audio item that corresponds to information embedded in the recorded audio of the contemporaneous radio broadcast, wherein the unique identification for the purchase of the non-audio item is specific to a user of the first user device.
