    摘要: The advent of audio compression algorithms in combination with high-speed Internet access has enabled consumers to download digital audio files such as music single tracks from the Internet within seconds to minutes. Whereas legitimate service providers offer music files for download on payment, many consumers download music files illegally at no direct cost by using file sharing or similar services. This leads to a potential loss in revenues for the creators, owners, sellers, and/or distributors of digital audio content. The present invention relates to a method and system for selling and/or distributing digital audio files comprising at least one advertisement message part in addition to at least one music entertainment part. By incorporating an advertisement message part, digital audio files can be sold at a lower price due to additional advertising revenues, which in turn will induce more consumers to legally purchase digital audio files, thus potentially increasing overall revenues for the creators, owners, sellers, and/or distributors of digital audio content.

    摘要翻译: 音频压缩算法与高速互联网接入的出现使消费者能够在几分钟内从互联网下载数字音频文件,例如音乐单曲。 虽然合法的服务提供商提供音乐文件以进行付款下载,但许多消费者通过使用文件共享或类似服务,无需直接费用非法下载音乐文件。 这导致数字音频内容的创作者,所有者,销售商和/或经销商的收入潜在的损失。 本发明涉及除了至少一个音乐娱乐部分之外还包括至少一个广告消息部分的销售和/或分发数字音频文件的方法和系统。 通过结合广告消息部分,由于额外的广告收入,数字音频文件可以以更低的价格出售,这反过来又将导致更多消费者合法购买数字音频文件,从而可能增加创作者,所有者,卖家, 和/或数字音频内容的分发者。
