ABSTRACT:
In an electronic delivery system, digital media items (e.g., videos, music, video games, ebooks, etc.) are stored in an ordered list (e.g., queue) at a provider system. The provider system automatically delivers digital media items to a user system (e.g., via a network connection). The user is permitted to check out (e.g., view, play, read, etc.) a maximum allowed number of items at the user system. If the user checks in an item, or an item expires or is removed from the queue, then the user is permitted to check out (or renew) digital media items in the queue until the maximum allowed number of digital media items are checked out. In some implementations, digital media items are automatically delivered in response to one or more trigger events (e.g., an item is removed from the queue, etc.).
