The invention claimed is: 1. An audio content delivery system for at least one user, comprising: a network with at least one server in communication with at least one carrier; at least one audio content source including entertainment content and advertising content; at least one network access device equipped with audio capability for receiving an audio content in analog format from the network through the carrier and an interface that permits the user to interact with the content source, wherein the audio content is not stored to the network access device; wherein the at least one network access device and at least one content source are connectable via the network; wherein the system is accessible by the user using the at least one access device and the system provides for interactivity between the at least one user and the at least one content source, wherein the interactivity includes functions selected from the group containing fast forward, rewind, skip, pause, replay, learn more, and purchase; wherein the network includes a recognition engine configured to identify a calling number, create a calling number-file based on the calling number, store content choice and keystroke behavior to the calling number-file, and access information contained in the calling number-file when the calling number is recognized by the recognition engine, thereby creating and updating an associated user profile for each user based upon user interactions; a content profile table, created by the network, to characterize all available content and advertising for improved selection based upon preferences identified by the user profile; and an expert content management service to drive desirable content to the user based on content choice contained in the user's associated profile; thereby providing an interactive audio entertainment system that allows users to navigate the entertainment and the advertising content and purchase a featured product or service. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the user can program the system to deliver desired audio content. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the expert content management service is comprised of a) a recognition engine that uses caller identification to create, store, and retrieve an associated profile based upon calling number, content choices and keystroke behavior; b) a locator that triangulates caller's present location, thereby enabling location-aware services; c) an "automated DJ" designed to serve user-selected programming and featuring a simplified user interface which allows quick access to all content on the network; d) an advertising jukebox that selects suitable advertising based upon the aggregated listener data, location, and time of day; and e) an action/keystroke analyzer that constantly monitors user interactions relative to the content they are receiving, compares with personal history and updates the user profile to enhance and improve future content selection and delivery. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one carrier is a telephone carrier. 5. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one carrier is multiple carriers. 6. The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one carrier is a wireless carrier. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the network access device is selected from the group consisting of landline telephones, cellular and wireless telephones regardless of frequency and protocol of operation, PDAs, portable audio jukeboxes, "smart" telephones, satellite phones, computers and combinations thereof. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the expert content management service functions as a virtual web browser for the access of audio content via the internet, thereby allowing access of audio content via the internet without the requirement for a conventional computer or locally stored and controlled web browser environments. 9. The system of claim 8, where the virtual web browser interfaces with the user through audio commands including voice and touchtone commands, thereby allowing for interface without the need for a display, memory, CPU or qwerty keyboard. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the network is configured to bookmark content choices stored in the calling number-file.
