1. A method of identifying and playing a digital audio file, the method including:
- providing selection device having a plurality of separately identifiable digital audio file being identifiable with reference to an associated zone on substrate;
providing a substrate visually comprising (i) a graphic icon printed within a zone of the substrate, said graphic icon visually identifying a digital audio file, and (ii) a plurality of tags, each tag containing coded data encoding an identity of the substrate and the tag'"'"'s own location on the substrate;
selecting said graphic icon on said substrate with a selection device, the selection device sensing at least one tag;
determining said substrate identity and a location of said sensing device on said substrate, using said coded data contained with said tag;
identifying a stored digital audio file associated with said zone of said substrate; and
playing the digital audio file identified by the selection device.

Abstract
A method of obtaining an MP3 file, the method including providing a plurality of separately identifiable MP3 files; associating each of the plurality with one or more identities; providing at least one substrate visually identifying at least one MP3 file, the file also being identified by an encoded identity on the substrate; selecting at least one of the at least one MP3 files of the at least one substrate with a selection device, the selection device sensing the coded data corresponding to the file; determining the identity associated with the coded data of the selected MP3 file; and downloading the audio data identified to the selection device.
