Abstract
In an information service system whereby a server apparatus distributes music performance data to a telephony terminal apparatus through a network, the telephony terminal apparatus includes a storage section that stores an application program to be executed by a processing section for sending to the server apparatus a search query effective to specify target music performance data and acquiring the target music performance data from the server apparatus for exclusive use by the application program. In the server apparatus, a first distributing section responds to the search query in the form of contents that are dedicated for use by the application program. A second distributing section of the server apparatus responds to a request from the telephony terminal apparatus for distributing second contents of the same target music performance data to the telephony terminal apparatus such that the second contents can be treated by the telephony terminal apparatus independently of the application program.
