A preference determination system allows a music provider, like a band or disc jockey, to determine the musical preferences of the members at a gathering. As many members of a gathering use electronic devices, like cellular telephones, that include music and video players, these devices include a corresponding play list that includes information about the music or video. When at a gathering the music provider, for example, interrogates the devices of the members of the group and uploads their respective play lists. The music provider then compiles information about the music into a data compilation. The information may include artist, song title, release date, genre, etc. The music provider then sorts the data compilation to select information that is popular to a significant number of members in the group. The music provider then selects and plays music to the group consistent with the selected information. For example, if 50 people are at a gathering, and 30 have digital music by the Tom Waits on their devices, the music provider may decide to play “Innocent When You Dream” for the group.

Apparatus, methods, systems, and data structures for organizing music files such that consumers can download single songs or entire predetermined libraries of songs with one or two clicks on an Internet browser. For passive listeners without the time to generate their own playlists, 500 to 30,000 song libraries can be downloaded to a PC, and then side loaded to an MP3 player. This will enable users to replicate the experience of listening to a favorite broadcast radio channel having songs most likely to please the listener, with zero interruptions. The stored and downloaded songs are individually categorized by song title, artist, mood / tempo, multiple genres, era, original song release date, and audience reach (e.g., audience crossover potential). For a subscription fee, the consumer will have continued access to listen to the downloaded and side loaded songs, but without the ability to copy or transfer the song. For an additional fee (or a higher subscription fee) the consumer can take actual ownership of downloaded song libraries and / or individual songs.
