ABSTRACT:
A personal communication system has first and second portable communication devices, each device including a display, a wireless transceiver, a memory having a plurality of stored audio files, a means to select one of the audio files, the audio file selection means being operable to permit a user to select one of the audio files, and an audio speaker. The wireless transceiver of the first device is operable to transmit a signal identifying an audio file selected by the user and the wireless transceiver of the second device is operable to receive the signal, and, upon receipt of the signal, to play the selected audio file on the audio speaker of the second device. The memory includes one or more attributes for each stored audio file, the attributes comprising a sequence attribute, a message type attribute or a target gender attribute. The sequence, message type or target gender attribute have one or more of a plurality of predetermined values and are associated with a characteristic of a song from which an associated audio file is obtained. The device is also operable to receive one or more selections from the user of the predetermined values of the sequence, message type or target gender attributes.
