<p>Methods, systems, and apparatus are presented for providing unlimited access to media content, such as music. A media server environment can be provided, which maintains an instance of each subscriber account and a central archive of media content. The instance of a subscriber account can include a record of each item of media content stored locally at the subscriber's device. Changes to the instance, e.g. through automatic updates and user requests, can be reflected on the subscriber's device through the addition and/or deletion of media content. Accordingly, correspondence between the instance and state of the subscriber device can be maintained. Access to the local and central media archives can be controlled through the media server environment based on the status of the subscriber's account. If the subscriber's account becomes inactive, access to media content can be disabled. Once the subscriber's account is reactivated, access to media content can be restored.</p> |
