    Abstract: A music delivery arrangement permitting a subscriber to select from among a plurality of available music selections, particular selections that he wishes to hear at any time. The plurality of music selections are "played" at a central "jukebox" facility. They are frequency multiplexed onto one or more communication channels that are typically used to carry video information, such as cable television channel. The video channel information is distributed to individual subscribers either via unused channels of a cable television system, by direct broadcast at commercial television frequencies, by direct satellite transmission to a subscriber, or by some other means.
