1. A method for secure transmission of music content over a network, the method comprising steps of:
- providing;
at least one server device; and
at least one remote audio playback device, the remote audio playback device including a unique identifier stored thereon, the unique identifier also pre-stored on the at least one server device prior to a user-registration of the at least one remote audio playback device with the at least one server device and the audio playback device being formed as at least one of a headphone and a speaker;
creating, by the at least one server device, an encryption key independent of the unique identifier stored on the at least one remote audio playback device;
encrypting, by the at least one server device, a music content using the encryption key;
encrypting, by the at least one server device, the encryption key using the unique identifier stored on the at least one server device; and
transmitting, by the at least one server device, over a long range communication network, to the remote audio playback device, the music content encrypted using the encryption key and the encryption key encrypted using the remote audio playback device'"'"'s unique identifier.

Abstract
A method and system is disclosed that provides at least one server device; and at least one remote audio playback device, the remote audio playback device including a unique identifier stored thereon. An encryption key is created by the at least one server device. The at least one server device transmits, over a long range communication network, to the remote audio playback device, music content encrypted using the encryption key and the remote audio playback device'"'"'s unique identifier.

9. A method for secure transmission of music content over a network, the method comprising steps of:
-
providing a server system having at least one server and at least one database; the server system receiving, over a long range communication network, from a requesting audio playback device, a user request to transmit music content stored on the at least one database to a target audio playback device formed as at least one of a target headphone and a target speaker; as a result of receiving the user request, the server system determining an encryption key and encrypting the requested music content using the encryption key and a unique identifier hard-wired into the at least one of the target headphone and the target speaker such that only the at least one of the target headphone and the target speaker can decrypt the encrypted music content, the unique identifier of the at least one of the target headphone and the target speaker being pre-stored on the server system prior to a user-registration of the at least one of the target headphone and the target speaker with the server system; and after performing the encrypting step, the server system transmitting, over the long range communication network, to the target audio playback device, the encrypted music content. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for secure transmission of music content over a network, the system comprising:
-
at least one audio playback device having a unique identifier stored thereon, the at least one audio playback device formed as at least one of a headphone and a speaker having the unique identifier stored thereon and operably configured to decrypt an encrypted music content at the at least one of the headphone and the speaker using the unique identifier stored thereon; and a server system having at least one server, the at least one server; determines an encryption key; and transmits, over a long range communication network, to the at least one audio playback device, the encrypted music content encrypted using the encryption key and the unique identifier, the unique identifier of the at least one of the headphone and the speaker being pre-stored on the at least one server prior to a user-registration of the at least one of the headphone and the speaker with the at least one server. - View Dependent Claims (17)
