Abstract:
1. A system for storing and reproducing digital music data and automatically transferring song identifying data comprising: a portable battery powered electronic device that provides digital music storage and playback operations having an electronic memory and interface circuitry that establishes a temporary communication interface directly between a radio system and the portable battery powered electronic device, the interface circuitry transferring control signals generated by the radio system specifically for controlling the selective transfer of music data from the portable battery powered electronic device directly to the radio system via the temporary communication interface, the portable battery powered electronic device having circuitry that processes and responds to the control signals generated by the radio system, one or more of the control signals initiating transfer from the portable battery powered electronic device of one or more songs of digitally recorded music data directly to the radio system via the temporary communication interface for reproduction by the radio system; and wherein the portable battery powered electronic device has circuitry that automatically communicates directly with the radio system via the temporary communication interface for automatically transferring digital song identifying data from an electronic memory of the radio system to the portable battery powered electronic device for storage therein; and further wherein the portable battery powered electronic device automatically communicates with a user computer and provides the digital song identifying data to the user computer, and wherein the digital song identifying data is initially stored in the electronic memory of the radio system based on a user selection made via an interface of the radio system, the digital song identifying data is automatically transferred from the electronic memory of the radio system to the portable battery powered electronic device without user selection of the data for transfer and a computer program of the system for storing and reproducing digital music data located at the user computer automatically generates an electronic message which transfers the digital song identifying data to a remote server without user selection of the data at the user computer and a responsive electronic communication received at the user computer is processed to present the user with link data for preview and/or purchase of one or more songs corresponding to the digital song identifying data.
