An electronic musical apparatus which makes it possible to execute functions provided in advance in the electronic musical apparatus. Contents data including link information indicative of a link to a file in which at least one command for executing at least one predetermined function provided in the electronic musical apparatus is written is acquired. A predetermined screen is displayed based on the acquired contents data. The file linked by the link information is acquired when a user performs a predetermined operation on the link information presented on the displayed predetermined screen. At least one command written in the acquired file is interpreted, and the electronic musical apparatus is controlled to execute at least one predetermined function indicated by the interpreted command.

A browser portion BR obtains a reproduction manner specifying file from a content distribution server, and delivers the same to a reproduction control portion CT. The reproduction control portion CT obtains from the content distribution servera music content file designated by a reproduction content list in the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT reproduces, in cooperation with a tone generating circuit, a music piece corresponding to the music content in a reproduction manner specified by the reproduction manner specifying file. The reproduction control portion CT displays the music content on a display devicein a display manner specified by a reproduction manner specifying file. When a user operates an input operation element groupfor changing the display manner of the display device, the reproduction control portion CT changes the display manner of the display device. Stream-distributed music content is prohibited from being stored in recording medium (a non-volatile memory)and from being outputted to the outside through output interface

Electronic musical apparatus for reproducing received music content

In a server apparatus, a storage section stores musical composition data representing a plurality of musical compositions. A transmission section transmits musical composition data which represents a first musical composition to an electronic musical apparatus via a communication network in a streaming manner, such that the electronic musical apparatus can reproduce the first musical composition in realtime basis. A reception section receives operation data from the electronic musical apparatus, the operation data representing a user operation of the electronic musical apparatus performed in response to realtime reproduction of the first musical composition. A control section selects musical composition data representing a second musical composition based on contents of the operation data, such that the second musical composition matches a skill of the user to operate the electronic musical apparatus, and controls the transmission section to transmit the selected musical composition data of the second musical composition to the electronic musical apparatus in the streaming manner, whereby another user operation can be performed in response to the realtime reproduction of the second musical composition.

An acoustic diaphragm comprising two or more laminated composite sheets, being formed into a shape with a curved surface. The composite sheet is made up of sliced wood and nonwoven fabric cloth consisting of adhesive resin, being stuck on backside of the sliced wood. Thus, it is capable of forming a three-dimensional shape, making use of natural wood characteristics, and improving unevenness of natural material properties. In one preferred embodiment, the diaphragm is woven of slit wood or other article forming the weft and synthetic or inorganic fibers forming the warp.
