First Claim
1. An information acquisition apparatus capable of associating with a target electronic music apparatus and capable of acquiring content information representing a music content from a contents distribution site for use in the target electronic music apparatus, the information acquisition apparatus comprising:
- an information reception section that receives content information representing a music content desired for use in the target electronic music apparatus from the contents distribution site through a communication line;
an ID acquisition section that acquires identification information which uniquely identifies the target electronic music apparatus to discriminate from other electronic music apparatuses;
an embedding section that embeds the acquired identification information into the received content information; and
a control section that records the content information embedded with the identification information into a recording medium for use in the target electronic musical apparatus.

Abstract
An information acquisition apparatus is capable of associating with a target electronic music apparatus and capable of acquiring content information representing a music content from a contents distribution site for use in the target electronic music apparatus. In the information acquisition apparatus, an information reception section receives content information representing a music content desired for the target electronic music apparatus from the contents distribution site through a communication line. An ID acquisition section acquires identification information which uniquely identifies the target electronic music apparatus from other electronic music apparatuses. An embedding section embeds the acquired identification information into the received content information. A control section records the content information embedded with the identification information into a recording medium for use in the target electronic musical apparatus.
