System for reproduction of media content

A method for wireless transmission of at least one audio file to a sound reproduction apparatus and subsequent playback of the at least one audio file, the method including:

• selecting the at least one audio file using a control device which is allocatable with one of rank and priority in a manner so as to allow control of the sound reproduction apparatus;
• storing the at least one audio file on a memory module of the sound reproduction apparatus in an order selected using the control device;
• decoding the at least one audio file in the order selected using the control device;
• and
• playing back the at least one audio file on the sound reproduction apparatus, wherein the at least one audio file is played back either in a streaming form or a stored-data playback form, the form depending on depending on the at least one audio file stored in the memory module.

A system for reproduction of media content, the system including:

• at least one sound reproduction apparatus being wirelessly connectable to at least one control apparatus via at least one data channel, the at least one control apparatus being connected to the at least one sound reproduction apparatus once the at least one control apparatus receives a first signal indicating a presence of the at least one sound reproduction apparatus;
• and
• the at least one control apparatus being wirelessly connectable to at least one data storage apparatus on a data network,
• wherein the at least one sound reproduction apparatus plays back audio signals of the media content which is either stored on the at least one control apparatus or received via the data network, and with the audio signals of the media content being received at a memory module of the at least one sound reproduction apparatus, and
• wherein the memory module also stores a profile of the at least one control apparatus to indicate an earlier association of the at least one sound reproduction apparatus with the at least one control apparatus.
