Abstract
The invention is a media access system. A multipoint installation may create a connection system which permits client devices, such as wireless media playback devices, to connect to host devices in a partnered relationship which permits authorized access to selected media located on the host device, without a need to physically synchronize the partnered client devices. Playback of media content may be configured on a variety of devices where new media content may be offered for purchase. Furthermore, the system permits authorized storage of additional selected media on the host devices. A personalized music radio for receiving personalized music services is also described. Media accessed may be tracked and stored along with user preferences in a personalization engine.
