Patent ID: 8554998

Claim:
A method for configuring a rewriteable non-volatile memory for presentation of media by a selected media presentation device model, the method comprising: providing a rewriteable non-volatile memory configuration interface through which a user can select at least one media file and one of a plurality of media presentation device models which a rewriteable non-volatile memory is currently within or attached to or which the rewriteable non-volatile memory will be placed into or attached to if the rewriteable non-volatile memory is not currently located within or attached to the media presentation device; and providing, on a host having a processor, a rewriteable non-volatile memory configuration manager for, responsive to selection via the configuration interface of the at least one media file and the one media presentation device model, accessing a database including entries corresponding to the plurality of media presentation device models and configuring the rewriteable nonvolatile memory according to information retrieved from the database to allow presentation of the at least one media file when the rewriteable non-volatile memory is present in or attached to the selected media presentation device model at the time of the configuration, and to allow the presentation of the at least one media file when the rewriteable non-volatile memory is present in or attached to the selected media presentation device model subsequent to the configuration, wherein configuring the rewriteable non-volatile memory to allow the presentation of the at least one media file when the rewriteable non-volatile memory is present in or attached to the selected media presentation device model subsequent to the configuration comprises configuring the rewriteable non-volatile memory to use a format that is incompatible with the host.
