Abstract

A system provides media content/communications data to a plurality of devices. The system includes a server system that includes a central server in communication with a plurality of local units each acting as a client to the central server. The central server is configured to provide content to each local unit. The system includes at least one earphone device linkable to each local unit to convert an audio signal received from the server system into an audible sound output to a user. The system is configured to identify a potential unlinking of an earphone device from an output of a local unit, store user-specific data corresponding to a condition of operation of the local unit substantially at the time of the potential unlinking, identify an attempt to link the earphone device with an output of a local unit, and retrieve the stored user-specific data.
