An apparatus-implemented method for marketing a composition to a user, the method comprising: playing, by a user-device, an entertainment sequence that is customized for a user; wherein said entertainment sequence comprises a plurality of compositions or pieces that were selected for said user based on information and/or history about said user; wherein when a composition or piece has finished being played-back, or when the rest of a composition or piece has been forwarded past, a following composition or piece is automatically started without needing user action; playing, automatically by the user-device, at least one marketed composition or subset portion of a marketed composition, as part of said entertainment sequence; wherein the marketed composition was selected for said user, without needing user action, based on a profile and history of said user, and on feedback or history of other users; while a said marketed composition or a said subset of a marketed composition is playing in said entertainment sequence, detecting at the user-device whether an authorization to acquire usage-rights for said marketed composition is indicated by said user; when said authorization is provided by said user, causing usage-rights for a said authorized marketed composition to be acquired for said user; wherein a digital representation of at least a subset of the user's usage-rights for the acquired composition, is transmitted across a network for use at one or more user-devices; and wherein usage-rights for a composition are acquired for the user, without the user searching a catalog, database or listing of compositions.
