A method of recording a recommended plurality of audio signals () in an entertainment sound system () associated with an automotive vehicle ()includes a central server () for processing a plurality of data () associated with a plurality of audio signals (). A data input () within the vehicle () receives the plurality of data (). An audio input () within the vehicle () receives the plurality of audio signals (). The plurality of data () is transmitted from the central server () through said data input () to a controller () within the automotive vehicle (). Furthermore, the plurality of data () is transmitted through the data input () to the controller (). A preferred plurality of audio signals () received from the audio input () is acoustically played on the entertainment sound system (). Then, a preferred plurality of data () associated with the preferred plurality of audio signals () is recorded onto a user profile stored on an electronic medium (). Finally, a recommended plurality of audio signals () having a preference vector congruent to the user profile is recorded onto the electronic medium ().

A method of recording a plurality of audio signals associated with an entertainment sound system ( ) of an automotive vehicle ( ) includes an audio input ( ). A plurality of audio signals ( ) is transmitted from the audio input ( ) to a controller ( ) within the automotive vehicle ( ). A preferred plurality of audio signals ( ) is acoustically played on the entertainment sound system ( ). A recorder ( ) is actuated to record the preferred plurality of audio signals ( ) onto an electronic medium ( ) within the vehicle ( ). Consequently, the preferred plurality of audio signals ( ) is recorded onto the electronic medium ( ). An acoustical transmission of the preferred plurality of audio signals ( ) received from said audio input ( ) is halted at a halting point. Finally, the acoustical transmission is resumed from the electronic medium ( ), from the halting point simultaneously as the plurality of audio signals ( ) continues being recorded.
