1. An electronic system, comprising:
- a first processor;
memory coupled to the first processor;
operating system software stored in the memory and executable by the first processor; and
a removable flash memory device, coupled to the processor by an interface, the removable memory device having stored thereon;
a first data set in a first encoded format, the first data set including a multimedia content file; and
a second data set, which when executed by a processor in an electronic system produces the first data set in a second decoded format for use in the electronic system,wherein the second data set includes decoder software and decryption software for decoding and decrypting the first data set, and an autoload program that is executable by the processor and is compatible with an operating system utilized by the electronic system; and
code for use in controlling whether the decoder software and decryption software will or will not decode or decrypt the first data set.

Abstract
An article of manufacture includes a machine-readable medium that stores a multimedia content file in a first format and multiple program sets. Each program set is a version of software that, when executed by a respective electronic system, produces the multimedia content file in a second format for use in the respective electronic system. A first program set is compatible with a first operating system executed by a first electronic system and a second program set is compatible with a second operating system executed by a second electronic system. The second operating system is distinct from the first operating system.

5. A method of operating an electronic system having a processor and memory storing operating system software that is executable by the processor, the method comprising:
-
receiving a removable flash memory device at an interface, the removable flash memory device having stored thereon; a first data set in a first encoded format, the first data set including a multimedia content file; and a second data set, which when executed by a processor in an electronic system produces the first data set in a second decoded format for use in the electronic system, wherein the second data set includes decoder software and decryption software for decoding and decrypting the first data set, and an autoload program that is executable by the processor and is compatible with an operating system utilized by the electronic system; executing the second data set, in conjunction with the operating system software, to produce the first data set in the second decoded format for use in the electronic system, including comprising code to determine whether the decoder software and decryption software will or will not decode or decrypt the first data set. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
