Abstract
The present invention involves a media player and method for providing digital audio data in satellite digital audio radio (SDAR) format. The media player includes a satellite radio receiver, audio circuitry for reproducing sound from signals provided by the satellite radio receiver, and a computer interface circuit configured for accessing audio information files. The media player may have an antenna for receiving satellite radio broadcasts, and another antenna for a wireless connection. The media player may further have a control and display for interfacing with a source of digital audio files, such as through a network connection. The invention also includes a converter for providing audio files from digital audio files that are formatted for satellite digital audio radio (SDAR), with a source interface adapted to connect to a source of audio files, a translator adapted to create an SDAR formatted digital audio file, and a media player interface adapted to connect to a media player. The method of providing satellite digital audio radio (SDAR) formatted digital audio files to a SDAR enabled media player includes accessing a source of digital audio files with an interface of the media player, and playing a SDAR formatted digital audio file with the media player.
