| 1. An audio system comprising:
a radio stage that demodulates a selected channel of a received radio signal into a received radio data system (RDS) signal
and an associated audio signal;
a RDS decoder module, operatively coupled to the radio stage, that decodes the received RDS signal into received RDS data;
a memory module that stores a record request, the record request having an RDS parameter;
a comparison module, operatively coupled to the RDS module and the memory module, that compares the received RDS data to the
RDS parameter of the record request and that asserts a record signal when the received RDS data compares favorably to the
RDS parameter; and
a record module, operatively coupled to the radio stage and the comparison module, that records the associated audio signal
in response to the record signal being asserted.
