Electronic musical apparatus for reproducing received music content
First Claim
1. An electronic musical apparatus comprising:
- an interface portion that connects to a content distribution server;
an input operation portion that instructs an operation of the electronic musical apparatus;
a volatile memory that stores a music content;
a reproducing portion that reproduces the music content stored in the volatile memory; and
a storage controlling portion configured to, when the music content stored in the volatile memory is a first music content stream-distributed via the interface portion from the content distribution server, inhibit the input operation portion from instructing an operation of the electronic musical apparatus and prohibit the first music content stored in the volatile memory from transferring to a non-volatile memory, and when the music content stored in the volatile memory is a second music content generated using the input operation portion, allow the input operation portion to instruct an operation of the electronic musical apparatus and permit the second music content stored in the volatile memory to transfer to the non-volatile memory.

Abstract
A browser portion BR obtains a reproduction manner specifying file from a content distribution server 30, and delivers the same to a reproduction control portion CT. The reproduction control portion CT obtains from the content distribution server 30 a music content file designated by a reproduction content list in the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT reproduces, in cooperation with a tone generating circuit 43, a music piece corresponding to the music content in a reproduction manner specified by the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT displays the music content on a display device 42 in a display manner specified by a reproduction manner specifying file. When a user operates an input operation element group 41 for changing the display manner of the display device 42, the reproduction control portion CT changes the display manner of the display device 42. Stream-distributed music content is prohibited from being stored in recording medium (a non-volatile memory) 65a and from being outputted to the outside through output interface 67.
