Abstract This paper presents a new concept for future audio entertainment distribution. The idea is to make music a service, not a product. All the music in the world will be available to the users wherever they are with an enhanced mobile telephone. The system has push and pull services. The push services send content that suits the users' profiles to a device without any user interaction. Thus there are no real-time demands and content can be sent with low priority or scheduled for a period with spare capacity. The pull services require user interaction and need more bandwidth, since users expect a reasonable response time. This approach solves the extensive problems with copyright infringement. The content is encrypted and can only be accessed via a key. Since users will have access to unlimited music resources for a reasonable price, they will not bother to copy music illegally.
