A system and method for providing an interactive, visual complement to one or more audio programs. In one aspect, the system comprises an audio subsystem for generating an audio signal corresponding to a sound recording. The system also comprises a video subsystem for generating a video image specification based, at least in part, on the sound recording. In one aspect, the audio signal and video image specification are transmitted to an audio/video signal transmission system. The transmission system receives the video image specification and generates a video signal that conforms to the video image specification. The video signal and the audio signal are transmitted to at least one consumer receiver. In this way, the system provides a visual complement to an audio program.

1. A method for providing a visual complement to an audio stream, comprising: transmitting audio data corresponding to a selected song; andtransmitting a data packet that was generated using an identifier identifying the selected song, wherein the data packet includes a media asset identifier identi
1. A method for providing a visual complement to an audio stream, comprising: transmitting audio data corresponding to a selected song; andtransmitting a data packet that was generated using an identifier identifying the selected song, wherein the data packet includes a media asset identifier identifying a media asset and further includes song information associated with the selected song, the song information comprising the title of the selected song and the name of the artist who recorded the selected song, whereinthe step of transmitting the data packet comprises transmitting the data packet to a receiving system that is configured such that, in response to receiving the data packet, the receiving system automatically generates a video image using the information included in the data packet and automatically outputs the generated video image to a display device, which is operable to display the video image to a user of the device, without the user having to select a menu item, andthe generated video image includes the song information comprising the title of the song and the name of the artist. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the identified media asset is a still image with which the selected song is associated. 3. The method of claim 1, further comprising: after transmitting the first data packet to the system and while audio data corresponding to the selected song is still being transmitted, transmitting a second data packet to the receiving system, wherein the second data packet includes a second media asset identifier identifying a second media asset that is different than the first media asset and further includes said song information associated with the selected song. 4. The method of claim 1, further comprising: selecting the selected song prior to transmitting said audio data; andin response to selecting said selected song, transmitting to a video subsystem a trigger message, wherein the trigger message comprises an identifier associated with said selected song. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the video subsystem is configured to generate the data packet based, at least in part, on pre-defined configuration data and information included in the trigger message. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the video subsystem is configured to generate the data packet in response to receiving the trigger message. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the data packet specifies a screen location that is associated with said media asset identifier. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the selected song is a song that falls within a particular category of songs, and said media asset identifier identifies a media asset associated with the particular category. 9. A system for providing a visual complement to an audio service, the system comprising: an audio subsystem configured to store a playlist for a linear audio channel and to transmit audio data corresponding to a sound recording specified in the playlist; anda receiving system, comprising a receiver and a video image generator, the receiving system being programmed to:i) in response to receiving a data packet that was generated using an identifier identifying the sound recording, generate a video image in accordance with information included in the data packet, wherein the data packet includes a media asset identifier identifying a media asset and further includes sound recording information associated with the sound recording, the sound recording information comprising the title of the sound recording and the name of the artist who recorded the sound recording; andii) automatically output the generated video image such that it is received at a display device operable to display the video image to a user of the display device without the user having to select a menu item, whereinthe generated video image includes the song information comprising the title of the song and the name of the artist, andthe receiving system is configured to retrieve the identified media asset and use the retrieved media asset in generating the video image. 10. The system of claim 9, wherein the data packet further includes information specifying a screen location that is associated with said media asset identifier. 11. The system of claim 9, wherein the sound recording is a song that falls within a particular category of songs, and said media asset identifier identifies a media asset associated with the particular category. 12. The system of claim 9, wherein the video image is encoded according to a Moving Pictures Experts Group (MPEG) standard. 13. The system of claim 9, wherein said media asset identifier identifies a media asset associated with the sound recording. 14. A method for providing a visual complement to an audio stream, the method being performed by a music system for providing said audio stream to a plurality of users essentially simultaneously and comprising: the music system automatically selecting a song from a set of available songs;the music system storing a data packet associated with the selected song, the data packet including a media asset identifier identifying a media asset and further including song information associated with the selected song, the song information comprising the title of the song and the name of the artist who recorded the song;as a result of automatically selecting the song, transmitting said audio stream, wherein said audio stream comprises audio data corresponding to said selected song; andtransmitting the data packet to a receiving system, whereinthe receiving system is configured such that, in response to receiving the data packet, the receiving system automatically generates a video image using the information included in the data packet and automatically outputs the generated video image such that it is received by a display device that is operable to display the video image to a user of the display device without the user having to select a menu item, andthe generated video image includes the song information comprising the title of the song and the name of the artist and the still image identified by the media asset identifier.
