Audio segment based and/or compilation based social networking platform

Abstract

A device includes a transceiver, a storage device, and a processor. The transceiver receives an audio segment from a remote device, receives a request to communicate the audio segment to another remote device, and communicates the audio segment to the another remote device in response to the request to communicate the audio segment to the another remote device, the audio segment including at least one audio feature extracted from audio recorded by the device. The storage device stores the audio segment. The processor retrieves the audio segment from the storage device in response to the request to communicate the audio segment to the another remote device.
