A SYSTEM FOR DISSEMINATING DATA

摘要

A system (1) is provided for disseminating media data (2). System (1) includes a data gateway (3) for selectively accessing data (2) from a media database (4). Upon accessing data (2), gateway (3) defines a signal identifier Sand packages data (2) to provide a data signal (6) indicative of data (2) and identifier (5). Gateway (3) then outputs this signal to a playback unit (10). Unit (10) is responsive to identifier (5) for selectively extracting data (2) from signal (6) to provide an output signal (11) that is derived from the data (2). For example, where data (2) is a digital audio file, signal (11) is an audible representation of that audio file.
