  • Publication number: 20090144153
    Abstract: Techniques to facilitate acquiring a media set, or a related series, of digital media assets from an on-line media store are disclosed. A user can view various media sets that have been listed as available for purchase from the on-line media store. A user can choose to purchase a particular media set even though some or all digital media assets to be included in the particular media set are not yet available. Subsequent to the purchase of the particular media set, the digital media assets of the particular media set can be delivered to the user once the digital media assets become available. Since the monitoring is computerized and the delivery is electronic, once digital media assets becomes available, delivery can be automatically processed.
