Digital information library and delivery system with logic for generating files targeted to the playback device

A computer based library and information delivery system for generating and maintaining a plurality of digital information files, said library and information delivery system comprising:

• an authoring system including programming logic for receiving raw digitized data, logic for transforming said raw digitized data into said plurality of digital information files, logic for generating targeted digital information files corresponding to said plurality of digital information files and based on a player ID, and logic for generating information indicative of various characteristics of content of said digital information files;
• and
• a library server coupled to said authoring system including logic for maintaining said plurality of digital information files, said digital information files including said information indicative of various characteristics of content of said digital information files and targeted for said player ID upon selection by an authorized user.

A computer based library and information delivery system for enabling a user to access and obtain selected digital information files from an external source, said library and information delivery system comprising:

• a computer system including programming logic for browsing various characteristics of content of said digital information files, logic for selecting one or more of said digital information files, logic for authorizing access to said selected one or more digital information files, logic for causing the generation of targeted digital information files corresponding to said selected one or more digital information files, said targeted digital information files being targeted using a player ID, and logic for requesting download of said targeted digital information files to said computer system from said external source;
• and
• a mobile device removably connectable to said computer system, said computer system further including logic for downloading a portion or all of said targeted digital information files to said mobile device, said mobile device enabling playing of said portion or all of said targeted digital information files if said mobile device corresponds to said player ID, said portion depending on storage space available in said mobile device.
