Abstract: A portable media player communicates with a host computer for enabling a user of the player to manage media distribution using the control software of the host computer. The host computer can send a GUI that is displayed on the otherwise “dumb” player, and the user can view the GUI and press a single button to command the control software to download a media title to the player. The host computer can periodically poll the player to determine its status.

Abstract translation: 便携式媒体播放器与主计算机进行通信，以使玩家的用户能够使用主计算机的控制软件来管理媒体分发。 主机可以发送显示在另外的“哑”播放器上的GUI，并且用户可以查看GUI并按下一个按钮来命令控制软件向播放器下载媒体标题。 主机可以周期性地轮询玩家以确定其状态。
