`
`BACKGROUND
`
`The present invention relates generally to audio recording
`devices, and relates specifically to a novel music jukebox.
`Present audio tape recorder/players provide for both audio
`recording onto a cassette tape and play back of the audio
`recording, and are generally relatively easy to use. The typical
`audio tape recorder/player has several push-buttons which
`allow a user to have the device perform a number of functions
`in connection with the cassette tape. Normally, a push-button
`is provided for each of the following functions: pause, stop,
`rewind, fast forward, play and record.
`In addition to being easy to use, some audio tape recorder/
`players provide additional advantages by way of advanced
`features. For example, some provide that one can determine a
`recording sound level before or during a recording, and set or
`adjust a recording gain level in response thereto. Specifically,
`some provide a digital display, such as an LED display, that
`indicates the sound level which will be recorded (or which is
`being recorded) onto the cassette tape, and provide a rotary
`knob, or other type of adjustor, which one can adjust in order
`to set (or adjust) the recording gain level. However, even these
`more advanced audio tape recorder/players do not provide
`that one can listen to how the recording actually sounds until
`after the sounds are recorded onto the tape. In other words, the
`typical audio tape recorder/player does not allow one to truly
`"audition" a recording before it is actually recorded onto a 40
`cassette tape. As a result, several "takes" may be required
`before an acceptable recording is obtained. A recording may
`be unacceptable because of a number of reasons such as, for
`example, because the recording gain level was set too low or
`too high.
`Additionally, present audio tape recorder/players do not
`provide an easy way to vary the order in which a set of sounds,
`such as a set of songs, will appear on the cassette tape.
`Because an audio tape recorder/player records essentially
`what it "hears" or receives, in real time, it is not possible to
`easily customize the order in which sound tracks, such as
`songs, will appear on the recorded tape.
`Another disadvantage of audio tape recorder/players is that
`they produce analog recordings, and analog recordings have a
`lower sound quality than do digital recordings. Furthermore,
`cassette tapes are not as durable as compact discs. For
`example, a dirty tape head may effectively destroy a cassette
`tape upon play back. For these reasons, cassette tapes are no
`longer the standard in the music industry, and compact discs
`are now en vogue. Therefore, while the demand for audio tape
`recorder/players has decreased, the demand for compact disc
`players has been increasing.
`Like present audio tape recorder/players, present compact
`disc players are also relatively easy to use and provide push(cid:173)
`button controls, with a push-button being provided for each of
`the following functions in connection with the compact disc:
`pause, stop, track reverse, track forward and play. The track
`
`2
`reverse and track forward functions of the presentday com(cid:173)
`pact disc player are much like the rewind and forward func(cid:173)
`tions, respectively, of the presentday audio tape recorder/
`player. However, the nature of compact discs provides that the
`track reverse and track forward functions of a compact disc
`player are more useful than the respective rewind and fast
`forward functions of an audio tape recorder/player. Specifi(cid:173)
`cally, holding the track reverse or track forward push-button
`down provides that the compact disc player skips back or
`10 forward, respectively, within a given sound track. In contrast,
`tapping the track reverse or track forward push-button on the
`compact disc player provides that the compact disc player
`very quickly skips back or ahead, respectively, to the previous
`15 or next sound track on the compact disc. Because of the
`general nature of cassette tapes, this latter feature cannot
`effectively be provided on audio tape recorder/players.
`As mentioned, compact disc players provide certain advan(cid:173)
`tages over audio tape players. Compact disc players play back
`20 digital sound recordings from a compact disc, and digital
`sound recordings have a higher sound quality than do analog
`signal recordings. Also, compact disc players provide for fast
`movement to the previous or next sound track. However,
`while audio tape recorder/players provide that one can record
`25 onto a cassette tape, most presently generally available com(cid:173)
`pact disc players do not provide that one can record onto a
`compact disc.
`Those compact disc recorders which are generally avail(cid:173)
`able record onto a compact disc in real time and do not
`30 provide any true editing functions. For example, some com(cid:173)
`pact disc recorders now available provide that a source
`device, such as a compact disc player or a cassette tape player,
`is first connected to inputs of the compact disc recorder. Then,
`as the source device is operated to begin playing music from
`35 the source medium, the compact disc recorder is operated to
`begin recording. Therefore, as the source device is playing
`music, the compact disc recorder records the music in real
`time, as the compact disc recorder receives the music through
`its inputs.
`There are many disadvantages to having to record in real
`time. One disadvantage is that editing is severely limited. If a
`mistake is made, the mistake is generally non-correctable. For
`example, if one begins recording the wrong song onto the
`compact disc or begins recording a song at the wrong volume,
`45 the mistake cannot readily be corrected. One would have to
`start over, and begin recording onto a new compact disc.
`Another disadvantage to having to record in real time is that
`if one wishes to make several identical compact discs, one
`would need to re-play all of the source music into the compact
`50 disc recorder. Of course, this effectively provides more
`opportunities for mistakes to be made while recording. Fur(cid:173)
`thermore, if one wishes to make a second compact disc much
`like a compact disc which was made previously, with the
`exception of one song being replaced by another, one would
`55 need to re-play all of the previous source music into the
`compact disc recorder in addition to having to play the new
`song into the recorder. Likewise, if one wishes to make a
`second compact disc much like a compact disc which was
`made previously, with the exception of the songs on the
`60 second compact disc appearing in a different sequence, one
`would need to re-play all of the previous source music into the
`compact disc recorder, albeit in a different order.
`Some other compact disc recorders now available include
`two compact disc trays-one tray for playing music from a
`65 compact disc, and one tray for recording the music onto
`another compact disc. In other words, music is recorded from
`tray-to-tray. This type of compact disc recorder presents
`
`HTC Exhibit 1001
`
`

`

`US 7,933,171 B2
`

`many of the same disadvantages as discussed above because
`the recording is still done in real time.
`Most of the compact disc recorders presently available can
`play music from a standard compact disc, thereby operating
`like a standard compact disc player. However, the devices
`generally cannot play back music which was received previ(cid:173)
`ously by the device unless the compact disc containing that
`music is first inserted into the tray of the device.
`Another disadvantage to the compact disc recorders which
`are presently generally available is that the devices cannot be 10
`used to record onto standard CD-R discs which can be played
`back using any standard compact disc player. Standard CD-R
`recordable compact discs (as opposed to discs marked "for
`consumer use") are presently widely available, are inexpen(cid:173)
`sive, and can be played back using any standard compact disc 15
`player.
`The present invention is directed at solving the disadvan(cid:173)
`tages discussed hereinabove.

`
`DESCRIPTION
`
`OBJECTS AND SUMMARY OF THE
`DISCLOSURE
`
`A general object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox which provides advantages not generally pro(cid:173)
`vided by other presently available compact disc recorders.
`Another object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox which can be used to store music tracks as
`easily as using a modem-day audio tape recorder/player.
`A further object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox that provides that one can listen to a stored 30
`sound track before the sound track is recorded onto a compact
`disc (i.e. truly "audition" a recording).
`Still another object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox that provides that one can easily customize the
`order in which sound tracks will appear on a compact disc.
`Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide
`a music jukebox that can play back music which was received
`previously by the device without a compact disc containing
`that music being first inserted into the device.
`Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a
`music jukebox that can be used to record onto computer- 40
`compatible compact discs which are presently widely avail(cid:173)
`able, are inexpensive, and can be played back using a standard
`compact disc player.
`Briefly, and in accordance with at least one of the foregoing
`objects, the present invention envisions a music jukebox 45
`which is configured for storing a music library therein. The
`music jukebox includes a housing, audio input structure on
`the housing for receiving audio signals, audio output structure
`on the housing for outputting audio signals, and a data storage
`structure in the housing for storing audio signals. The music 50
`jukebox is configured such that a music library of sound
`tracks is storable in the data storage structure. The music
`jukebox includes means for selecting a sonnd track from the
`music library stored in the data storage structure to play
`through the audio output structure, and the housing includes 55
`a display thereon which identifies sonnd tracks in
