A vending machine and vending method for audio, video, music, movie or other date file downloads is optimized for commercial viability and product placement. The vending machine offers standard connectors allowing users to access a library of download files and download those files to data players such as MP3 music download players, video players and so on. It further offers inexpensive data players to users in addition to offering downloads. Importantly, the device has hardware or software (video) softbuttons allowing remote reprogramming: in the product placement method of the invention, a commercial entity may pay to have the softbutton programmed to their desired data file source. Commercial entities buying placement on the vending machine may be artists, performers, studios, recording labels, on-line and other music libraries. The machine may accept coins, thus increasing saleability of the data products sold thereon.
