Abstract
An audio element cache is provided that is capable of caching audio elements for each user in a personal radio server system. In operation, customized radio content is provided to remote listeners in a personal radio server system by: storing a plurality of audio elements in a file server; retrieving a subset of the plurality of audio elements from the file server by predicting the content desired by a remote listener based on a user profile of the remote listener; storing the subset of the plurality of audio elements in an audio element cache; selecting audio elements to provide to a remote listener from the audio element cache; and transmitting the audio elements to the remote listener. In an embodiment, the plurality of audio elements are stored in the audio element cache when a remote listener logs-on the personal radio server system.
