Abstract
An audio recommendation system adds a 'recents' tab in a memory accessible to a messaging system including any audio tracks (songs or sounds) encountered by applications in order to allow quick access to any recently played songs or sounds provided in a message to/from another user or encountered during activities of the user. The displayed “recents” tab enables the user to revisit songs or sounds that the user may wish to use later in another message or to include in the user's music playlist. The “recents” tab also enables the user to browse an audio history in received messages without needing to explicitly save the music or sounds upon receipt. The system determines the source of the encountered sound or song and stores the source of the sound or song in a playlist associated with the recents tab with identifying information for the sound or song.
