A method for identifying and providing a composition or digital-work to a user. The user may explicitly and/or implicitly indicate an interest in a composition that is discovered during everyday activities. The “interesting” composition and/or information associated with the composition may be emanating from an external source (e.g., background music in a restaurant) or may be encountered while using an interactive device (e.g., surfing the web); or information (e.g., a magazine article or advertisement) about/associated with a composition may be encountered by the user. A portion of the “interesting” composition and/or information about/associated with the “interesting” composition may be captured and the composition identified. A composition or composition-highlight related to the identified-composition may be provided one or more times; within a customized sequence of compositions that is generated and/or adapted for each user. The provided-composition may be added to the user's favorites or library. Usage-rights for the provided-composition may be acquired for the user. The composition may be any type of digital-work including music, sound, text, image, video or other media. In some cases, the composition may be an advertisement for a product or service.
