Abstract:
1. A method for field-programming a solid-state memory device with a digital media file, the method comprising: (a) providing a solid-state memory device comprising a three-dimensional memory array of vertically-stacked field-programmable memory cells, the memory device further comprising an electrical connector coupled with the memory array; (b) connecting the electrical connector of the memory device with an electrical connector of a digital media source; (c) automatically selecting, based on a user's past selections, a digital media file from the digital media source for storage in the memory device; (d) field-programming the field-programmable memory cells of the three-dimensional memory array of the memory device with the selected digital media file; (e) disconnecting the memory device from the digital media source; (f) connecting the electrical connector of the memory device with an electrical connector of a digital media playback device, the digital media playback device being different from the digital media source; and (g) with the digital media playback device, playing the digital media file field-programmed in the memory device; wherein the digital media source is not a dedicated playback device for the digital media file.
