Abstract

A method of operating a computer jukebox and an automated computer jukebox are presented. An instruction set is transmitted to a computer jukebox. The instruction set includes, for example, a data source identifier, a data type identifier, and a time identifier. The data source identifier indicates the data repository from which the jukebox will download data, the data type identifier indicates the particular song to download, and the time identifier specifies when the jukebox will download the song. For example, the data source identifier may be an Internet web site Uniform Resource Locator (URL), the song identifier may be a song title, and the time identifier may specify an absolute time reference (e.g., 2 P.M.). According to the instruction set, the jukebox connects through a communication interface to the data source identified by the data source identifier. The jukebox then downloads the song identified by the song title, and stores the song in its memory for future play. In addition, the instruction set may include a payment identifier. As an example, the payment identifier may represent a credit card number or predetermined account number and billing information (for example, name, address, expiration date, and the like) that allows the jukebox to pay for the songs it will download. The instruction set may also include a series of navigation commands, particularly useful for navigating a web site, that lead the jukebox through a web site song downloading set of screens.
