Abstract
In a system for providing access to media selections stored on a remote storage medium, a resolving station is electronically linked to a remote station from which a user transmits a request for access to a selected data composition, the request comprising user identification information and a code corresponding to the selected data composition. The resolving station stores, regarding each of a plurality of data compositions, information regarding access authorized and accounting information; accepts from a user a request for access to a selected composition; verifies, based on identification information provided by the user, the code and the access information corresponding to the selected composition, whether or not the user is authorized for the requested access; implements, based on the accounting information and the code corresponding to the selected data composition, a predetermined accounting process for access by the user to the selected data composition, if the user is authorized for the requested access; and transmits information regarding authorization of said user and the result, if any, of said accounting process for said selected composition.
