Abstract: Playlist information is distributed for use in a system of a plurality of audio replay devices. Each device comprises local storage for storing tracks. Playlist information items are generated, each for a respective track, each indicating a system wide playlist to which the respective track belongs and a sequential position of the track in the system wide playlist. Individual audio replay devices are coupled to a source device for downloading selected playlist information items, for updating a local playlist in the individual audio replay device. The updated local playlist is used to control selection and a sequence of play of tracks by the individual audio replay device.
