Abstract

Systems and methods for processing encoded digital data for programming a device to be re-programmed in an audio playback system. The system includes an audio media source containing digital data having audio data or encoded data in an audio data format. An audio media reader reads the digital data from the audio media source. A stream detector receives the digital data from the audio media reader and detects whether the received digital data includes encoded data formatted as audio data or audio data. An audio receiver device receives the audio data and processes the audio data for playback. A device to be re-programmed uses the encoded data formatted as audio data.
