Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system and a method for managing music data, and to a device which can be used for such a system and / or a method, in particular a U SB device for connection to a computer, in particular a portable USB MP3 Player to connect to a computer.

  • the invention has for its object to provide a novel system and a novel method for managing music data, and a device which can be used for such a system and / or a method, in particular a USB device.
  • the invention solves this problem by the subject matter of claims 1, 13 and 16. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the object is essentially achieved in that a device is provided, in particular an MP3 player, which records a part of a played piece of music, in particular by means of a microphone, as a file (eg in MP3 or .wav format) and can save and this file when later connected to a computer can be transferred to this.
  • a device in particular an MP3 player, which records a part of a played piece of music, in particular by means of a microphone, as a file (eg in MP3 or .wav format) and can save and this file when later connected to a computer can be transferred to this.

  • the recording of additional users instead of comparing the recording data stored in a database 1 pieces of music, the recording of additional users, in particular, other such devices, transmitted for detection.
  • the result in particular as to which title or interpreter is then transmitted by one of the other users directly or by means of a server to the user of the device, in particular by displaying on a website or within a computer program.
