Abstract

The system for associating at least one physical medium (5) itself associated with at least one file containing at least audio data, with a base (1) for storing digital data comprises:

• • a management and control module (6) of the device,
  • a base (1) for storing digital data of at least one audio file, said file corresponding to a digital version of an audio file initially associated with at least one physical medium (5),
  • means (3) for reading said audio file in digital form connected to the database (1) by a cable or wireless link (F3),
  • a member (4) fixed to said physical medium (5) and storing information necessary for reading at least one audio file stored in digital form in said database (1) by said reading means (3).

Claims

1. System for associating at least one physical medium (5), said medium (5) itself being associated with at least one file containing at least audio data, with a base (1) for storing digital data, characterized in that it comprises:

a management and control module (6) of the device,

a base (1) for storing digital data of at least one file containing at least audio data, said file corresponding to a digital version of a file containing at least audio data initially associated with at least one physical medium (5),

means (3) for reading said file containing at least audio data in digital form connected to the database (1) by a cable or wireless link (F3),

a member (4) fixed to said physical medium (5) and storing information necessary for reading at least one file containing at least audio data stored in digital form in said database (1) by said reading means (3).

2. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the member (4) is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) type label.

3. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the physical medium (5) is chosen from at least DVD, CD, cassettes, VHS or vinyl disk.

4. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the reading means (3) are chosen from at least smartphones, tablets.

5. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the reading means (3) are integral with the database (1).

6. System according to claim 1, characterized in that the reading means (3) are remote from the database (1), the latter being hosted in the computing cloud (2).
