First, the system would check media content in real time through audio analysis or metadata scanning. Then, it would determine if its “of interest” to you by checking it against a profile based on your listening habits or personally defined preferences. Finally, if it thinks you’re into a particular stream, it would continue playing it, and if not, it could blast something from your own collection. It could even do a TiVo-like time-shifting function – ensuring you’d catch that entire guitar solo while not missing a single word from your favorite show.
