Audio transceiver

An audio transceiver adapted for providing playable audio data to an audio playback device, the playable audio data being associated with source audio data received wirelessly by said audio transceiver from a multimedia device, said audio transceiver comprising:

• a Bluetooth communication interface capable of establishing a wireless electrical connection with the multimedia device to receive the source audio data therefrom;
• a USB interface adapted to be electrically coupled to the audio playback device to receive a file segment request therefrom;
• a decoding unit electrically coupled to said Bluetooth communication interface to receive the source audio data therefrom, and decoding the source audio data to generate standard audio data;
• an encoding unit electrically coupled to said decoding unit to receive the standard audio data therefrom, and encoding the standard audio data to generate an audio file format data that is in a format supported by the audio playback device;
• and
• a processing unit capable of making said audio transceiver appear as a virtual USB storage device to the audio playback device, and establishing a virtual audio file to be read by the audio playback device, said processing unit being electrically coupled to said encoding unit and said USB interface to receive the audio file format data and the file segment request respectively therefrom, and being capable of generating an audio file segment data from the audio file format data according to the file segment request, the audio file segment data being in a format supported by the audio playback device and being transmitted to the audio playback device via said USB interface as the playable audio data.
