Abstract
A method is disclosed for transmitting musical performances over the Internet from a single point such as a piano Internet web site to multipoint such as player pianos located within subscriber's homes. A subscription service associated with the web site would offer monthly subscription services where a subscriber can access any one of millions of prerecorded performances at any time of day and have a signal transmitted to the subscriber's computer. A transmitted signal is received at the subscriber's computer and a musical instrument, such as a player piano, can perform the prerecorded performance. The web site would also offer a mix of live performances as part of the basic subscription at additional cost, at a pay-per-performance basis. The musical performance would be either a live performance which would be transmitted from point to multipoint or prerecorded performance which would be more typically sent from a storage device associated with the web site directly to a single customer.
