Systems and methods for increasing bandwidth for digital content delivery are presented. A content delivery method and system split a digitally encoded content file (e.g., song, television show, movie, podcast, or other audio or video content file) to be delivered to receivers into at least two files with a first file being stored at a receiver in advance of receiving the second file. The first file generally includes a majority of the information in the content file but is denatured and cannot be decoded by a receiver or media player to produce even a portion of the original content file without the second file. The second file includes information derived from the original content file that is not contained in the first file. Upon receiving the transmitted second file, a receiver combines and processes both files to recover the original content file wholly or substantially for playback. |
