A timestamped programming software is provided with the My Music Player. It allows to create and manage timetables of playbacks in order to adapt messages, music styles, volume settings in order to suit a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual calendar.

The audio sources of the My Music Player are :

• Local with a USB (internal or external) flash drive, or with a SD card.
• Through Ethernet to listen to web radios (streaming)
• From a local source connected to the auxiliary audio input of the player

The musical content update can be made locally with the update of the storage device or remotely through Ethernet.

A service provider could propose its web radios or customize a stream according to a playback need.

Suggestions of uses:

• Public address system: retails, malls, bars, restaurants, hotels, waiting rooms…

• Informative or promotional messages according to an accurate programming.

• Real-time streaming, web radio (of a retailer, a music content provider, or an owned web radio). Sound designer playlists playback, or owned playlists.
