1. An audio device comprising:
- a memory system for storing data, the data including a decryption key and a first set of digital data associated with the audio device;
an interface for receiving from a remote sender a second set of digital data and a set of compressed digital audio data;
a processor system for decrypting the second set of digital data using the decryption key and comparing at least a portion of the decrypted second set of digital data with the first set of digital data, the processor system storing the set of compressed digital audio data to the memory system if result of the comparison allows the storing;
an output for indicating to the user that the set of compressed digital audio data is available for listening;
the processor system further for decompressing the set of compressed digital audio data stored in the memory system to generate decompressed digital audio data, when requested by the user; and
a digital to analog converter for converting the decompressed digital audio data to analog audio signal.

Abstract
A sending device exchanges handshake signals with a receiving device prior to the delivery of compressed digital audio data. The sending and receiving devices are remotely connected using a data network. In one embodiment of the present invention, the sending device sends an access code to the receiving device. The access code is an encrypted data of two components: a digital data associated with the sending device and a digital data associated with the receiving device. The receiving device decrypts the access code. The receiving device stores the compressed digital audio data in its memory if the decrypted access code contains the correct components.

5. A method for an audio device to generate analog audio signal, comprising:
-
storing a decryption key and a first set of digital data associated with the audio device receiving from a remote sender a second set of digital data; decrypting the second set of digital data; comparing at least a portion of the decrypted second set of digital data with the first set of digital data; receiving from the remote sender a set of compressed digital audio data and storing the set of compressed digital audio data into memory when permitted by the comparing; indicating to a user that the set of compressed digital audio data is available for listening; retrieving the set of compressed digital audio data from the memory when requested by the user and decompressing the retrieved set of compressed digital audio data to generate decompressed digital audio data; and converting the decompressed digital audio data to analog audio signal. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
