Embodiments of the present invention provide a location-based audio service. According to one embodiment, a request for a desired audio stream having an inactive segment is received from a user operating a mobile device. Furthermore, geographic data may be monitored while the audio stream is being rendered on the mobile device. The location-based audio service is configured to determine relevant location-based information based on the geographic data, and then transmit the relevant information to the mobile device during the inactive segment of the desired audio stream.

A method of assigning content with an entry in a directory includes parsing the content into text phrases. Mappings between each entry in the directory and information in name fields of the directory are determined. Name proposals for a phrase are determined using the mappings. Each name proposal identifies a potential match between the content and one or more entries in the directory. The content is assigned to an entry in the directory associated with a name proposal of the one or more name proposals.
