This application is a continuation-in-part of pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/829,581, filed on Apr. 21, 2004, entitled Portable Music Player and Transmitter, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/336,443, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,191,193, filed on Jan. 2, 2003, entitled Automatic Digital Music Library Builder. The present patent application claims priority from both application Ser. No. 10/829,581 and application Ser. No. 10/336,443.
Reference is now made to FIG. 3, which is a bottom view of the Egg 200 of FIG. 2, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The bottom of the Egg includes a female audio/video connector 210, preferably for transferring analog audio and analog video between the Egg and a Nest; and a female USB connector 220, preferably for transferring digital data between the Egg and a Nest, between the Egg and a “filling station” kiosk, and between the Egg and another Egg. Corresponding to connectors 210 and 220, the cradles of the Nest contain male analog audio/video connectors and male USB connectors (not shown in FIG. 1).
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a song within a Nest or an Egg is labeled as “Purchased”, “Recorded” or “Try & Buy”. A “Purchased” song is one that is paid for by a consumer. Purchased songs include inter alia songs purchased through an Internet service such as iTunes® or Napster®, songs purchased through a kiosk, and songs copied and converted (“ripped”) to a format such as MP3 from a CD that is purchased. “Recorded” songs include songs recorded for a consumer from a cable or satellite music station. “Try & Buy” songs are promotional or trial versions of songs that are provided to a consumer for free, and eventually expire. If the consumer wishes to continue to listen to such songs, he must obtain a Purchased or Recorded version of the song. “Purchased” labels are also referred to herein as “Owned-by-Purchase” labels, and “Recorded” labels are also referred to herein as “Owned-by-Recording” labels. In addition, “Purchased” and “Recorded” labels are also referred to herein collectively as “Ownership” labels, and “Try & Buy” labels are also referred to herein as “Non-Ownership” labels.
In reading the above description, persons skilled in the art will realize that there are many apparent variations that can be applied to the methods and systems described. Thus, the configurable logic described hereinabove for songs and audio devices is applicable as well to movies and video devices, and to other types of media and media devices. As such, the respective terms “audio device”, “digital songs”, “source audio device”, “target audio device”, “digital audio acquisition device” and “digital audio player” as used through the specification for the specific embodiment related to digital audio, are to be construed respectively generally as “content device”, “media content”, “source content device”, “target content device”, “content acquisition device” and “content player”.
Transfer of songs from source devices to target devices, and from clearinghouses to devices, may be performed in batches of songs, such as entire albums, as well as for single songs. In addition, devices may be “hot-synched” to one another. For example, an Egg may be hot-synched to a Nest, using wired or wireless communication, so that the Nest is updated periodically with the songs in the Egg.
