CA 2328341
A method and apparatus for associating an auditory cue with a navigational aid for use in navigating the Internet is disclosed. At least one element of a history or bookmark list, regardless of the structural representation of that list, of a browser is associated with a sound. In particular, "sound bytes" are stored in wave files on a storage medium of a computer running the browser. At least one element, e.g., a web page name, of the history list is associated with one of the stored wave files. The associated sound is played when the web page is accessed and may be heard again when passing a cursor over the name in a history mechanism, or reaccessing the web page. Thus, a user can associate particular locations on the web with particular sounds.
