Universal multimedia distribution, storage, and playback systems, devices, and methods are disclosed herein. A media distribution kiosk located at a retail establishment provides a user with access to a multitude of different forms of digital multimedia that may be purchased and downloaded onto a portable media transporter device. The portable media transporter device may then be inserted into a media storage and playback device that is capable of transcoding and storing the media on a hard disk drive. Additionally, the media storage and playback device is capable of transcoding, storing, and playing information residing on various other media formats such as DVD (movies, audio, gaming software), CD, and memory cards. Digital rights management (DRM) security measures employed at the kiosk and at the transporter and storage/playback devices ensure the integrity of the media transferred to the user. |
