Abstract:
1. A method for playing a media file by a data processing system, comprising steps implemented by the data processing system of: receiving a degraded initial version of the media file from a sending data processing system; sending at least a portion of the degraded initial version of the media file to the sending data processing system to confirm successful receipt of the degraded initial version of the media file at the data processing system; receiving a supplemental version of the media file from the sending data processing system as a result of the sending data processing system having confirmed an identity of a recipient of the degraded initial version of the media file at the data processing system; merging the degraded version of the media file received from the sending data processing system with the supplemental version of the media file received from the sending data processing system to form a combined media file; and playing the combined media file by the data processing system.
