摘要： Techniques to facilitate pre-ordering of digital media assets from an on-line media store are disclosed. A user of the on-line media store can view advance listings for digital media assets that have not yet been released. A user can also choose to pre-order a digital media asset that has not yet been released. Such a pre-order is recorded and monitored so that the desired digital media asset can be purchased and delivered to the user once the digital media asset become available. Since the monitoring is computerized and the delivery is electronic, once a digital media asset becomes available, delivery of any pre-order can occur nearly immediately.

摘要： Improved techniques that facilitate the use of podcasts are disclosed. The improved techniques can pertain to publishing, hosting, accessing, subscribing, managing, organizing, searching, browsing, transferring, and/or playing podcasts. According to yet one aspect, tags are embedded into syndication feeds that may be made available for distribution by an online media store to facilitate the organization, browsing and searching of podcasts. In accordance with one embodiment, one or more keyword tags may be embedded at the feed and/or episode levels of a podcast, thereby enabling the keywords to be associated with the feed and/or episode. In accordance with another embodiment, two or more category tags may be embedded at the feed and/or episode levels of a podcast, enabling the feed and/or episode to be categorized according to two or more categories.

摘要： Improved techniques and systems for storage, delivery and acquisition of digital assets are disclosed. The techniques and systems are suitable and useful for storing, delivering and accessing digital assets (e.g., media assets) that have been acquired from online stores. The techniques and systems are also suitable and useful for storing, delivering and accessing digital assets that have been acquired from other than from online stores. Regardless, the digital assets become accessible from a network-based digital data repository (e.g., cloud data storage) via electronic devices (e.g., user devices) and thus usable by the electronic devices. The digital assets can include media assets and/or non-media assets.

摘要： Improved approaches to allow a portable electronic device to dynamically present location-specific information while the portable electronic device is at a predetermined location are disclosed. In one embodiment, the portable electronic device has a display that can display the location-specific information and has wireless capabilities for use in receiving the location-specific information from the server. The location-specific information can, for example, augment other information that is to be presented on the display. In one embodiment, the location-specific information can be information pertaining to a media item being played in an establishment, such as a store, where the portable electronic device is located.

摘要： Improved approaches to make data available locally at business establishments are disclosed. In one embodiment, data anticipated to be soon to be requested by patrons of a particular business establishment can be pre-loaded to a local server provided at the particular business establishment. By pre-loading data that is anticipated to be soon to be requested by patrons of the particular business establishment, local network access traffic and congestion at the retail establishment can be reduced. The improved approaches are particularly well suited for media content data that is likely to be requested by patrons at business (e.g., retail) establishments. Advantageously, patrons can get rapid download of media content data associated with one or more media items that the patrons have purchased from an online media store.

摘要翻译： 披露了在商业场所在本地提供数据的改进方法。 在一个实施例中，预期将要由特定商业机构的顾客请求的数据可以被预加载到在特定商业机构提供的本地服务器。 通过预先加载预期将要由特定业务机构的顾客请求的数据，可以减少零售机构的本地网络接入流量和拥塞。 改进的方法特别适合于商业顾客（例如，零售）场所可能要求的媒体内容数据。 有利地，顾客可以快速下载与顾客从在线媒体商店购买的一个或多个媒体项相关联的媒体内容数据。
