A music data file and a storage device are also attached to the electronic computer of each slave station, and performance equipment including a music demodulator and a speaker is connected thereto. The electronic computer sends request information indicating the desired song to the master station when necessary, records the music information sent from the master station in its own music data file, and records the music of the song selected from the data file. The information is converted into performance information and provided to the music demodulator, and when making the above request information, usage information indicating the number of pieces of music to be performed and the number of times the local station has performed is sent to the master station. The music data file of each slave station does not need to have the same capacity as the master station; a capacity of about 50 to 200 songs is sufficient. The performance information given to the music demodulator from the above-mentioned computer is information that represents the pitch, strength, timbre, etc. of each note that makes up a piece of music. It is expanded to be equal to the song.
