Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02089372A1] Audio information is distributed from a service center (33) large group of subscribers on a regular basis, depending on the desires of the individual subscribers. The audio information can be educational, recreational, or informational in nature. The service center stores user profile information, stores compressed audio recordings for future delivery, transmits compressed audio information to each base unit (77), and interfaces with subscribers. The base unit provides readiness status to the service center (33). The service center sends compressed digital audio unattended, automatically decodes the information to a format suitable for input to a recording device (80), and records the audio information on a cassette (82) or other transportable recording medium. The base unit (77) accomplishes recording by exerting control over a linked recording device (80). Communication between the service center and each base unit may use a data network that operates on top of the Public Switched Telephone Network using xDSL modems (16) or a cable network using cable modems. The system maximizes efficient use of system resources and reduces total system costs.
