Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de téléchargement de fichiers de musique dans lequel un fichier de musique voulu peut être choisi et téléchargé facilement par l'utilisateur et son coût peut être réglé facilement, et un appareil de reproduction de fichiers de musique utilisant ledit procédé de téléchargement de fichiers de musique. Si l'utilisateur choisit un air désiré sur un réseau de communication (60), alors un serveur (30) de fichiers de musique dans lequel sont mémorisés des fichiers de musique envoie le fichier de musique de l'air choisi à une station radio de base (40) avec un identificateur. La station radio de base (40) reçoit le fichier de musique de l'air choisi et l'identificateur en provenance du serveur (30) de fichiers de musique et les transmet à l'appareil de reproduction de fichiers de musique par radio. L'appareil de reproduction de fichiers de musique mémorise le fichier de musique transmis par la station radio de base (40) dans sa mémoire lorsque l'identificateur transmis par la station de base est identique à son identificateur unique.
