Embodiment Construction

[0097] In general, the present invention relates to a system and method for delivering media over a network and for enhancing a user's experience in experiencing the media that is transferred over the network. In view of the aforementioned shortcomings in the art, it would be advantageous if a system was available wherein a user had complete and unfettered access to all media files that he or she has purchased, acquired and / or has access to at any location that they wish. Moreover, as was discussed above, current systems grant the user the ability to transport a media file on a portable device. These portable devices are limited in space and it becomes cumbersome to have to upload and download from the devices to and from each specific location that a user wishes to access files from. Therefore it would be advantageous if a system existed where a user was able to access these files through a click of a mouse on their local system with a minimum of cumbersome intermediary steps.
