ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method of updating electronic data stored in numerous electronic amusement devices. The method includes the steps of providing a master information source from which new songs, programs, or other information, for example, advertisements, may be downloaded. The method also includes the steps of providing a first set of at least one non-updated electronic amusement device, connecting each non-updated electronic amusement device in the first set to the master information source and downloading information to the non-updated electronic amusement device, thereby providing at least one updated electronic amusement device. Additional non-updated electronic amusement devices may be updated according to the method by providing a second set of at least one non-updated electronic amusement device, and iterating the following steps: selecting an updated electronic amusement device, selecting a subset of the second set of at least one non-updated electronic amusement devices, connecting the selected updated electronic amusement device to each non-updated electronic amusement device in the selected subset, and downloading information to the non-updated electronic amusement devices, thereby providing at least one additional updated electronic amusement device. The additional updated electronic amusement devices may then be chosen in subsequent iterating steps to update non-updated electronic amusement devices.
