Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to identify sources of network streaming services are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a coding format identifier to identify, from a received first audio signal representing a decompressed second audio signal, an audio compression configuration used to compress a third audio signal to form the second audio signal, and a source identifier to identify a source of the second audio signal based on the identified audio compression configuration.

Various implementations described herein are directed to technologies for providing over the top streaming for one or more clients of a network. A network is formed among the network among customer premises equipment. The customer premises equipment may include at least a gateway and the one or more clients. A user selection for over the top (OTT) content is received. The OTT content is received and includes one or more cue points. The gateway is marked as a proxy server in response to receiving the one or more cue points. Proxy data is received from the gateway corresponding to the one or more cue points.

Apparatuses for playing signals received from the internet or other information highway or a stored database on one or more speakers are described. The apparatus has a receiver for receiving information from preselected addresses; a processor for interpreting the signals; and a headset with at least one speaker for playing signals from the internet. There is at least display device in the headset in the form of a holographic projector connected to the receiver for displaying a 3D holographic image received from the internet. The processor selects images that correspond with the signals played by the speaker. The speaker projects the sound so that it appears that the sound is coming from a place other than the actual speaker itself. A holographic projector connected to the processor projects a 3D holographic image onto the place from which the sound appears to originate, rather than on the actual speaker itself.

The present invention provides to a web-based software and hardware system that act together with a user device to capture an audio feed, to easily encode and add meta data to the the audio content using input from studio systems, parse the content based on its type, and to provide the means to incorporate a feed segment produced from the encoded audio feed into a secondary production which is used to provide an indexed archive of audio and on-demand broadcast content, for example, by the creation and publication of pod-casts or on-demand broadcast, which includes ad positions inserted and dynamically served.

Disclosed is an interactive device for an internet radio station including a content presentation unit and a content selection unit. The content selection unit includes an operation module, a processing module, an indication module and a communication module. The operation module is used by a user to input a channel selection command by means of manual rotation and to generate a corresponding electrical signal. The processing module is used for acquiring corresponding audio resources from the network radio according to the electrical signal and issuing the corresponding audio resources to the content presentation unit which is used for playing back the audio resource. The processing module is further used for driving the indication module to generate a state change corresponding to the electrical signal. Hence, the user may select audio resources by rotating the operation module, so that the channel selection is similar to a traditional rotary tuning method.

Disclosed is an interactive device for an internet radio station, comprising a content presentation unit and a content selection unit. The content selection unit includes a knob, a selection module, a processing module, an indication module and a communication module. The knob inputs by a user, a channel selection instruction by means of manual rotation; the selection module generates a corresponding electrical signal according to the channel selection instruction; the processing module obtains, according to the electrical signal, a corresponding audio resource from the network radio station and releases the audio resource to the content presentation unit which plays the audio resource. The indication module generates, under the driving of the knob, a state change corresponding to the channel selection instruction. In this way, the user can select the audio resource by rotating the knob, so that the channel selection manner is similar to the traditional radio rotary tuning method.
